On September 25– 28, 2024, the Department of Geoecology and Physical Geography of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv will hold an international conference dedicated to the 80th anniversary of its foundation. The theme of the conference is related to (but not limited to) interdisciplinary landscape studies, which are the leading specialization of the department.
The conference will take place here in Ukraine under rather uncertain conditions of resistance to the Russian invasion. However, it is not only our country, but the whole world is in the state of transformation and uncertainty owing to the war in the East of Europe as well as other regional and global challenges of societal and ecological nature. Therefore, we will focus on the issues of adaptive landscape management as a socio-ecological system under transformations caused by armed conflicts, geopolitical polarization, climate change, population migration, etc. In addition, we will be happy to discuss other relevant basic and applied geographic and environmental issues.

- Management of the landscape as a socio-ecological system
