The Royal Irish Academy (RIA) is Ireland’s leading body of experts in the sciences and humanities. With a history spanning over 230 years, the RIA required a digital presence that reflected its prestigious heritage while catering to the needs of modern users. New Graphic was tasked with redesigning the RIA website to enhance user experience, improve accessibility, and showcase the Academy’s extensive range of resources and publications.
