About International Centre for Island Technology - The Orkney Campus, Postgraduate Research - at Heriot-Watt University

In 1989 the International Centre for Island Technology (ICIT) was established in the Old Academy in Stromness, the second largest town in the Orkney Islands.

  • Marine resource and coastal zone management
  • Renewable energy and energy planning
  • Waste minimisation and management
  • Fish stock and habitat enhancement technologies
  • Conflicts of use in marine and coastal estates
  • Biodiversity and marine conservation
