ABOUT US The conference is hosted by the Centre for Military History and Strategic Studies at NUI Maynooth. The Centre exists to support, coordinate and promote the work of the university in the fields of military history and strategic studies. It aims to further our knowledge of the causes, conduct and consequences of war and conflict and of the conditions for peace. In support of this aim the Centre supports research and publication within these fields, provides a forum for informed discussion and debate, encourages collaboration with Irish and international organisations and provides a range of courses and modules in military history, strategic studies, war studies and defence studies at undergraduate and postgraduate level. In addition to work on campus the Centre also maintains a close relationship with the Military College at the Defence Forces Training Centre and is responsible for providing lectures and supervision on a number of courses there. The Centre also works with the Irish Naval Service and provides courses on maritime strategy and defence studies for Naval Cadets. For further details please see our webpage or visit us on Facebook. The conference is run in association with the Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies and the Centre for Applied Research in Security Innovation at Liverpool Hope University.
LOCATION The conference takes place on campus at the National University of Ireland Maynooth. The university has approximately 8,800 students and 29 academic departments in three faculties (Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy; Engineering and Science; Social Science) and is located on a pleasant university campus in the centre of Ireland’s only university town. The spacious campus is laid out in its own extensive grounds in rural surroundings, and is divided between an older complex of fine nineteenth century buildings (adjacent to a thirteenth-century castle) and a modern complex of teaching, research, and support facilities. A campus map is attached at the end of this document. The historic town of Maynooth is located 20km west of Dublin and has good road, rail and bus links to the city centre. It is 30km by road from Dublin airport.
GETTING TO MAYNOOTH AIR TRAVEL: Dublin Airport is the closest airport to Maynooth (c.30km). The airport is linked to the city centre by bus and coach. Details are available via the Dublin Airport website. RAIL: Maynooth lies on the Western Suburban railway line which serves three city centre stations (Pearse Station, Tara Street and Connolly Station) as well as nine other suburban stations (Drumcondra, Broombridge, Ashtown, Phoenix Park, Castleknock, Coolmine, Clonsilla, Leixlip Coffey and Leixlip Louisa Bridge) which makes it a quick and convenient way to get to Maynooth. While trains leave regularly please check times and prices on the Irish Rail website. BUS: Maynooth is served by two Dublin Bus routes, the 66 and the 67. Both of these buses depart from Pearse Steet in Dublin City Centre and run frequent services to Maynooth. There is also a 66x express service to and from Maynooth. To get further information on these routes, including price and times, please visit the Dublin Bus website. Please note, these buses do not run late at night but Maynooth is connected to Dublin via the Nitelink bus service.

Coaches: For reasons that remain obscure Bus Eireann coaches travelling out from Dublin will pick up passengers at Maynooth but not drop them off, while coaches travelling into Dublin will drop off but not pick up. Thus, Bus Eireann is useful only to passengers travelling to/from stops to the west of Maynooth. Further information is available via the Bus Eireann website. Cars: For those travelling to Maynooth by car from Dublin simply take the N4/M4 heading west out of the city and leave the M4 at Exit 7. From the airport you should head for the M50 (southbound), leave the M50 at Junction 7 (signposted Galway, Sligo & Westport) and join the N4.M4, continuing to Exit 7 (Maynooth). One in Maynooth you should follow the signs into the centre of the town (its hard to miss, there is a castle!) For further details see the AA Route Planner. Parking: Please note that the university operates a permit parking system and vehicles that park in the zoned areas without an appropriate permit (available to staff and students) are liable to be clamped. Pay and display areas are available on campus for vehicles without a permit. The zoned areas are usually enforced Monday to Friday from 0830 to 1700 during term time, and on other days ‘at the discretion of the university’ and the clampers are zealous. Details on the parking policy are available via the relevant NUI Maynooth webpage. For further information on travel to NUI Maynooth please see the relevant university webpage.
