The All-Island Social Security Network (AISSN) is:
A network bringing together researchers to imagine a new future for social security on the island of Ireland.
Officially formed in May 2023 at a meeting at Trinity College Dublin, the AISSN includes researchers from both academia and civil society. We seek to examine, understand, map-out, explore, disseminate, consider, share and promote knowledge and understanding about the social security systems in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The network will not adopt a particular political position on Ireland’s constitutional future, but rather, it will seek to create a safe space for discussion, debate and exploration of a social security system that can meet the challenges of the future, while ensuring every individual can live a life centered on dignity and respect.
We aim to have at least two events each year – one event on each side of the border.
