The first IALE-Europe Thematic Workshop will take place in 4-5 July 2014, in Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon. Oral presentations and posters are very much welcomed in each of the following topics:

Symposium 1 – Models and methods: What are the most recent methodological developments? What methods and tools are available? How to define categories for multiple purposes – linking social, economic and environmental processes? How much “simplification” is acceptable? How to best integrate different types of knowledge?

(Organization by Francisco Moreira & Emilio Padoa-Schioppa)

Symposium 2 – Data, variables and indicators: What is the availability of data that can support the selection of variables describing the landscape characteristics? How to derive indicators related with different processes? Are there novel ways of data collection, using technological development and using informal and alternative data sources? How to integrate scale?

(Organization by Sónia Carvalho Ribeiro & Carlos Guerra)

Symposium 3 – Case studies across scales: What is experience is out there? Are we supporting a better policy practice? Can best practices be identified? How satisfyingly do they meet policy needs? Are there recommendations that can be formulated on how to progress?

(Organization by Jorge Gonçalves & Veerle van Eetvelde )
