The **Intercultural Islands Forum** will take place for the fourth time in Porto-Vecchio, a coastal town in Corsica. This year marks the first time the event is being held in Corsica, following previous editions in Cagliari, Sardinia, in 2023 and 2024, and a meeting on São Jorge, one of the Azores islands, in 2025. The forum brings together academics, local officials, researchers, and representatives from various island regions to discuss topics that affect island communities, such as local development, energy, tourism, and cultural cooperation. Organized under the **Islas del Mar** project by the EURINSULA association, the event involves several institutions, including the University of Cagliari, the University of Corsica, the Sud Corsica Community of Communes, and the City of Porto-Vecchio. The forum will take place over two days, with a focus on international collaboration and sustainability. On the first day, Thursday, October 8, the discussions will open with a session on internationalization and cooperation between island territories. Representatives from Corsica, Sardinia, the Balearic Islands, and Malta will share insights on how different island regions can work together. In the afternoon, the focus will shift to the energy transition and transportation challenges faced by islands. Topics will include the energy situation in Corsica, marine energy, island electrical networks, and the logistics of waste collection. Later in the day, a session will address marine biodiversity and environmental protection, covering natural reserves, Mediterranean ecosystems, and the role of local communities in preserving their environment. On Friday, October 9, the discussions will turn to tourism and its impact on island communities. Presenters will share experiences from various island regions on managing visitor flows and promoting sustainable tourism. The afternoon session will focus on creative industries and cultural cooperation, with topics including regional languages, heritage, cinema, and artistic collaborations between islands. These discussions aim to highlight the importance of cultural identity and the potential for creative projects to strengthen ties between island regions. The forum will be held at the Jean-Paul de Rocca Serra space in Porto-Vecchio on Thursday, October 8, and Friday, October 9, 2026. Entry is free, and some speakers will participate remotely, allowing representatives from other islands and European organizations to join the discussions without traveling. The event will conclude with a closing cocktail at the Bastion de France in the evening of Friday, October 9.
