Conference centre Isle of Vilm

The INA offers a conference venue to work efficiently and undisturbed right inside the scenic beauty of a small island in the Baltic Sea.

Workshops in close contact with nature

The International Academy for Nature Conservation Isle of Vilm (INA) provides a venue to work efficiently and undisturbed right in the scenic nature of a small island in the Baltic Sea.

As a core zone of the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve, the car-free island of Vilm is mostly undeveloped. The only exceptions are the office and administration buildings, the guest houses and the conference centre. The beautiful and fascinating nature of the island, fully-equipped seminar rooms with capacity for 12 to 70 people and our excellent cuisine provide the perfect setting for workshops.

Are you looking for a venue for your seminars, workshops or training courses related to nature conservation? You can book the guest houses and conference rooms of the conference centre Isle of Vilm for your events.
