West Iceland, a region of breathtaking natural beauty, is experiencing a surge in its cultural and creative industries. Nestled on the northern edge of Europe, this diverse region boasts stunning landscapes, including beaches, glaciers, wetlands, and mountains.

The picturesque island of Zlarin and the historic town of Šibenik were the sites of two impactful events this fall, both organised under the banner of the IN SITU project. These events—the “Place-based Creative Solutions” Summer School (September 20-24) and the “Horizons of Sustainability” conference (September 25-27)—highlighted the importance of creative innovation in driving rural sustainability and equitable development. They were organised by the Centre for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra and the Kultura Nova Foundation, in cooperation with the IN SITU Consortium, and were supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme, with the conference also receiving funding from the Central European Initiative.
