Registration is open for the ‘Island Legacies: Prehistoric Insular Ecosystems, Societies, and Climate Change in the Mediterranean’ conference which will be held in Malta on the 3-6th June 2025. The conference will bring together an international, multidisciplinary range of researchers concerned with unravelling the prehistory of Mediterranean Islands. This broad theme includes both the natural and human history of islands, with a special focus on how the two interacted to shape Mediterranean islands today. This landmark conference therefore presents a unique opportunity to share knowledge and build new scientific links at a time when Mediterranean islands face some of their greatest climate and biodiversity challenges.
The initiative is led by Professor Eleanor Scerri, head of the Human Palaeosystems Group at the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology, and Professor Nicholas Vella, of the Department of Classics and Archaeology UM. The organising committee also includes Dr Huw Groucutt and Dr Mario Mata Gonzales.
Thanks to generous funding from the Max Planck Society and the University of Malta’s Research Innovation and Development Trust, the conference offers a fantastic programme for very competitive registration fees, while offering limited bursaries to local and international students and junior researchers.
