Small island states are characterized by a strong dependency on external resources, which highly contributes to vulnerability of these territories. The approaches to increasing resilience and sustainability in small island states need to be critically redesigned in order to address context-specific challenges and to increase internal resilience. Several research collaborations have been set up to address these challenges, such as the Sustainable Island Solutions through Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (SISSTEM) program at the University of Aruba and the Metabolism of Islands (MoI) project which brings together researchers from a dozen universities that are concerned about sustainable futures for small islands throughout the world. This multidisciplinary symposium aims to bring together researchers from different research groups to exchange ideas and approaches for sustainable development in small island states and to foster interdisciplinary and interinstitutional collaboration.
We invite PhD-candidates and graduate students to submit proposals for this online event. Proposals can center on research design, contextualization of methodologies, theoretical frameworks or research outcomes on circularity, islands as metabolism, islandness or on threats and opportunities for the further sustainable development of resilience for small island states.
