The Centre for Cross Border Studies, based in Armagh and Dublin, researches and develops cooperation across the Irish border in a wide range of practical areas, notably education, health, ICT, planning and the economy. Its main purpose is to: identify gaps in cross-border information, research and mutual learning in Ireland; commission and publish research on issues related to North/South and cross-border cooperation in all fields of society and the economy; host events at which research findings can be discussed and disseminated, and at which cross-border policy formation in Ireland can be developed; and present the findings of such research and development to the two governments, the Northern Ireland Executive, social partner bodies and the public.
