Called the Sutherland Centre, it houses the Institute for International Integration Studies (IIIS), specialising in trade and globalisation. Dr Sutherland, himself educated at University College Dublin, actively supported the foundation of the IIIS, including with a generous donation. Other funds came from the Coca-Cola Company, a German bank, DePfa, and a US philanthropist, Chuck Feeney, as well as Ireland’s Higher Education Authority.
By providing research space and conference facilities, the Sutherland Centre at Trinity will no doubt generate outstanding CVs for years to come. RJC
