An Online Conference
The St Helena Research Institute (SHRI) and the University of Manchester are pleased to announce that a landmark free online conference, “St Helena: A Unique Environment, A Rich Tapestry,” will be taking place on Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 November 2024.
This exciting two-day event brings together researchers and scientists from St Helena itself, those who have conducted research on or around the island remotely, and the wider diaspora of people interested in the island’s fascinating history and environment.
