The topic of the conference:

The environment (built and natural) and the social context in which our settlements and the Transylvanian landscape are shaped are undergoing rapid and sudden changes. Increased and wasteful energy and raw material consumption, excessive or careless urbanization and territorial polarization, uncontrolled globalization, or misguided rigid localization, along with its specific modes of production and consumption are some of the factors responsible for the changes in our living space, places of residence, habitats and in the life forms of our world. As long as the environmental changes are directly perceptible, understanding the connections, drawing conclusions and finding answers to the changes is a task concerning all of us, and thus the professionals as well.

The aims of the conference:

• joint involvement of professionals, researchers, farmers, students, organizations working in the field of horticulture, landscape architecture, urban planning, plant cultivation, plant protection or related fields from all over the world, in solving problems concerning environmental changes;
• establishing and maintaining collaborative relationship between participants;
• involving young researchers in scientific activity;
• encouraging research work;
• presentation and dissemination of scientific results

Registration and abstract submission deadline: 15 February 2025.

Registration to the conference is free of charge.
