ISLAND DYNAMICS

Island Dynamics

Promoting island studies and island communities

Working with a global network of partners, Island Dynamics creates and communicates knowledge through conferences & retreats, research, and consulting.

Some Island Dynamics conferences take an internationally comparative island studies approach while others cover aspects of cultural, political, and economic research but do not concern islands in particular. Some are large-scale, interdisciplinary events while others are small-scale topically focused retreats. All of these events are rooted in our innovative conference concept, which emphasises local embeddedness, work across sectors, an intimate atmosphere, and the production of practical results. Island Dynamics fosters collaboration between academia, businesses, government, and the third sector.

, with special  expertise in interdisciplinary and comparative island studies worldwide.
