Conferences

Introduction

PECSRL conferences are usually held every two years in a different European country. Besides paper sessions, workshops and general meetings there is always a large field excursion to provide the PECSRL-participants with a detailed knowledge of the rural landscapes in the host country. Experience shows that PECSRL conferences offer ample facilities for meeting colleagues from all parts of Europe, for getting informed about various aspects of European landscape research and for initiating new projects on European landscape research.
