​

Islands have long been centres of creativity, ingenuity, and innovation. This conference sought to share knowledge of and celebrate facets of island creativity. We invited proposals for papers, panels and creative workshops that highlighted the many ways island societies put their manifold creative skills into practice, from their distinct responses to political, environmental, economic and social challenges, to the development of island creative economies and the promotion of community well-being. The proceedings from this conference will be published on our site in the next few months.

 

In line with this theme, we welcomed submissions on the following topics:

​

1. Creative Economy on Islands

2. Experience of the Island-based Creative Practitioner

3. Creative Entrepreneurship on Islands

4. Creative Approaches to Island Political, Environmental, Economic and Social 

     Challenges

5.  Creative Approaches to Sustainable Island Tourism

6. Other themes relating to islands studies will also be considered

​

The Centre for Island Creativity (CIC) supports research, post-graduate taught learning and knowledge exchange across the wide diaspora of the highlands and islands of Scotland. A core value is the recognition that remote locations where creative practitioners and thinkers choose to have their studio or production base are each a centre of research and graduate learning.
