We are happy to share the call for abstracts for the Islands and Sustainability Conference 2026, which will take place on 1–3 November 2026 at the University of Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands! The conference brings together early-career researchers to share research, exchange ideas, and build connections across disciplines and geographies.

We invite early career researchers, such as Master’s students completing or recently completed research projects, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers, working across different dimensions of island and sustainability research. We invite papers addressing, but not limited to, the following themes in island contexts: Environmental change and climate adaptation; Sustainable livelihoods and economies; Mobility, migration, and connectivity; Governance, policy, and planning; Culture, heritage, and identity; Wellbeing, care, and social sustainability

The conference will take place in person over the following days:

● Sunday, 1 November | Optional field trip to Schiermonnikoog

● Monday, 2 November | Full conference programme at the University of Groningen

● Tuesday, 3 November | Half-day conference programme, at the University of Groningen, closing with a reception and social gathering.

Submission guidelines: Please submit an abstract of max. 200 words and a short biography (100 words). Abstract deadline by 10 October 2026 at 23:59 CEST

🎯 Conference fee: €30 for both presenters and attendees. The fee includes coffee/tea and lunch on both days, as well as refreshments at the closing social gathering. Participants are responsible for arranging their own travel and accommodation.

Screening+Talk: April 23, 20:30-23:00 at the USVA Theaterzaal

FINITE: THE CLIMATE OF CHANGE, directed by Rich Felgate, is a documentary that explores the fierce struggle between communities, activists and fossil fuel corporations. It highlights the efforts of concerned citizens in Germany fighting to save the Hambach Forest from destruction by coal mining, and a community in England resisting the expansion of a coal mine threatening their valley. Through raw and intimate footage, the film portrays the relentless fight of ordinary people against powerful industries, emphasizing the importance of collective action in the urgent battle against climate breakdown.

Join us for the screening and discussion afterward!

PLEASE NOTE: This screening will be held at USVA. Space is limited, so we kindly ask you to reserve your seat in advance. You can find the link to reserve your free ticket in our bio.
