Future Land Use in Europe: Trends, Challenges and Policy (FLU-E)
____________________________________________________________


Are you involved in relevant research projects or decision-making?

The research area we will explore in the framework of a scoping paper in
March - April 2003 is agricultural and land use change in Europe.
Interested researchers, planners, policy and decision-makers are asked to
get in touch with us or to send relevant articles, reports, discussion
papers etc. to the address given below. The idea of the scoping paper is to
systematically explore the research area in terms of on-going research,
what we know already and what we ought to know in order to improve the
formulation of relevant policies in the future. How could accession to the
EU and the Common Agricultural Policy change land use in CEE is one issue
to be explored. Options for an improved science-policy interface will be
discussed.

In the scoping paper we would like to refer to your work, competencies,
experiences and - above all - to your views on the related questions. If
you have any articles, research reports, discussion papers etc. on these
questions, and if you are interested in this kind of research, please let
us know.

For more information on the scoping paper please see the attached 2 pages info.

With kind regards,
Karlheinz Knickel
