The Centre for Island Studies
was established in 1989 to research, preserve and promote Clare Island's
natural and human heritage.
Since its founding, the Centre has expanded
its field of interest and includes all Irish islands, in conjunction with
the Federation of Irish Islands (Comhdhail na Oilean).
It has produced a
number of publications, conducted small research projects and liaised
closely with the Royal Irish Academy and the New Survey of Clare Island.
It has hosted one European Environmental Campus (1994) and two European
Heritage Campuses (1996 and 2000) as well as two European Volunteer
Schemes (1997-1998). It has links with a number of European islands.
