Concept
Bellairs Research Institute
Summary
The Bellairs Research Institute, located on the Caribbean island of Barbados, was founded in 1954 as a field-station for McGill University. Initial funding was from a bequest by British naval commander, Carlyon Bellairs, for whom the institute is named. Bellairs is located just north of Holetown, in the parish of St. James, next to Folkestone Marine Park and Museum, on the west coast of the Barbados.
Initially founded as a marine biology field station, it is also currently used for undergraduates to partake in a Barbados Field Study Semester (BFSS). Environmental Engineering, International Development Studies and Environmental Studies are some of the areas it caters to.
Bellairs runs numerous McGill University field-courses and workshops throughout the year, including Applied Tropical Ecology, Geography, and the Barbados Field Study Semester. Bellairs also holds annual field courses from other universities from around the world including the University of Toronto (marine biology) and Western Michigan University (archeology).
Bellairs participated in testing McGill University's AQUA project – the world's first robot capable of walking and swimming underwater.
The main campus of McGill University is in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
