Under the umbrella of the Uni’s focus area, Environment and Sustainability, this semester will feature a research seminar with the broad topic “Land use, land scarcity, and land use transformation in sustainable development – Transformation research across multiple disciplines”.
The goal of this 3-hr-seminar is twofold: First, there will be research briefings and discussions on related perspectives regarding land use and land use transformation to trigger a cross-disciplinary dialogue. Second, to learn about different transformation research frameworks and concepts and get an incentive to relate own work to these.
The timing of the event is as follows: Friday, June 11, 13:00-16:00
The zoom link for this meeting can be requested via in4mation@indecol.uni-freiburg.de
