Dear colleagues,
We have the pleasure to announce a PhD master class on the topic:
“Integrative research for the planning and management of sustainable
landscapes”.
The course will be held in the Netherlands from 1-6 June 2004.
It offers opportunities for PhD students to be exposed to and
actively discuss a range of methodological approaches from the natural
sciences to landscape design with a team of international landscape
researchers. The course will specifically address the challenges facing
students who wish to integrate knowledge across disciplinary boundaries and
between knowledge cultures. Techniques for overcoming practical and
theoretical problems will be presented by the course teachers and discussed
in relation to the concrete projects of the participants.
The PhD master class has two main objectives:
1. It will provide insights into the different concepts and theories, which
exist in landscape research today for the management and planning of
sustainable landscapes.
2. It will give an overview over integrative approaches
(interdisciplinarity
and transdisciplinarity) and discuss how these can be applied successfully
in landscape research.
PhD students from all countries that are involved in landscape research are
invited to participate. The course is organised by Bärbel Tress, Gunther
Tress, Paul Opdam and Gary Fry. The participation is limited to 25-30
students. Interested PhD students can now pre-register for the course. For
detailed information and registration please refer to
