The International Conference Environment – Landscape – European Identity will be held November 4 – 6, 2011 in Bucharest, Romania.

The relevance of the themes covered by the conference is strengthened by three outstanding recent events:  2010 was the International Year of Biodiversity, in October 2010 was celebrated the 10^th anniversary of the European Landscape Convention and 2011 was declared as International Year of Forests. The conference language will be English, but the organizer can provide translation to/from Romanian.
