The Conference is funded by the Intelligent Energy for Europe Programme of the European Commission and is co-sponsored by the Western Isles Council.
The main objectives of the ISLENET Conference are:

ISLENET was created in 1993. It is an initiative of the Islands Commission of the CPMR (Conference of Peripheral and Maritime Regions) and the Western Isles Council and has enjoyed the support of the EU Institutions.
