Donegall Lectureship at Trinity College Dublin

The Donegall Lecturership at Trinity College, Dublin, is one of two endowed mathematics positions at Trinity College, Dublin (TCD), the other being the Erasmus Smith's Chair of Mathematics. The Donegall (sometimes spelled Donegal) Lectureship was endowed in 1688 by The 3rd Earl of Donegall, and, for much of its history, the Donegall Lectureship was awarded to a mathematician as an additional honour which came with a supplementary income.[1] Since 1967, the lectureship has been awarded each year to a leading international scientist who visits the university and gives talks, including a public lecture called the Donegall Lecture.[2][3]
