Please join us Friday for an announcement and celebration of the new UNESCO Chair in Island Studies and Sustainability at UPEI. The chair will work to establish and expand academic and research programmes on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Sub-National Island Jurisdictions (SNIJs). It will operate from the premise that SIDS and SNIJs are innovative, entrepreneurial, and connected, not vulnerable, lacking and isolated. The chair is one of 700 UNESCO chairs around the world and is the first in Atlantic Canada. When: Friday, July 22, 11 am Where: Lecture Theatre, Regis and Joan Duffy Research Centre, UPEI A reception will follow. Please RSVP to iis@upei.ca
