The UWI is committed to ensuring that its outreach activities in non-campus countries contribute to the growth of their human resources and permit them to share in the benefits of participating in a regional university system. Our Country Conference Series began in May 2000 to place focus on the Non-Campus Countries (NCCs) of the UWI system (Caribbean states outside of Barbados , Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago).

The conferences are designed to reflect multi-disciplinary academic perspectives on matters related to each Caribbean state. Conferences are held in a cyclical series in each of the NCCs with a running theme of, Beyond Walls: Multi-disciplinary Perspectives .

The overall aim of the series is to stimulate and highlight research in each country, not only by academics in the country, but by UWI staff based at campuses and by scholars in other institutions with interests in Caribbean studies.

Since 2000, conferences have been held consecutively in St. Kitts & Nevis, Dominica , Belize , Grenada , Montserrat, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, the Cayman Islands and St. Lucia . Conferences are currently being planned for 2005 in the British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas .
