Fachkonferenz
Details
PIURN is a consortium of 14 universities in the Pacific region established in 2012 to enable closer and meaningful collaboration among researchers with the view to identify and address through research, development and innovation social priorities, economic growth and environmental challenged for the Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs). The consortium has identified four main strategic research themes in line with the UN’s sustainable development goals, including health and food security, climate change and biodiversity, capacity building and data & statistics, as well as social development, education and gender equality.
Held under the theme “Exploring the Sea of Islands”, the 5th PIURN Annual Conference will investigate different sub-themes, reflecting the strategic priorities of the region, such as food security, climate change, protection of biodiversity, aspects related to languages, cultures and identities of the Pacific. There will also be panels on “politics & institutions in Oceania” and “political issues in Oceania”.
