Workshops
Synthesis and agenda setting workshops are activities centered on a specific objective that contributes to the advancement of land system science. Typical outputs of synthesis workshops are high-level scientific papers or meta-studies and theoretical contributions to land system science. Synthesis workshops can be proposed and organized by the IPO, SSC members, and nodal offices, as well as regular GLP community members, in coordination with IPO and SSC. Where relevant to GLP, workshops may be labelled as ‘GLP endorsed workshops’ in consultation with the IPO. Requests for assistance in the organization of such workshops by the IPO or SSC members may be made. For more information on organizing a GLP endorsed workshop contact the IPO.

Tuesday, November 9, 2021 - 3:00pm to 6:00pm
Human–wildlife interactions have become a frequent phenomenon in peri-urban landscapes, making them arenas of human-wildlife interactions. There is a need to identify and implement effective governance approaches to avoid conflicts and alleviate the negative impacts of human-wildlife interactions in peri-urban landscapes. The workshop offers a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange and network on human-wildlife interactions in peri-urban landscapes.
Wednesday, February 3, 2021 (All day) to Friday, February 5, 2021 (All day)
This workshop by the GLP Archetypes Working Group follow up on three successful workshops on archetypes held in Bern (2017), Berlin (2018) and Olomouc (2019). This time, the workshop will be held by the Stockholm Resilience Centre in Stockholm, Sweden, with the option of joining remotely. The workshop invites new as well as established members of the Archetypes of Sustainability network.
Wednesday, July 1, 2020 (All day) to Friday, July 3, 2020 (All day)
This free online workshop, offered by the Taipei Nodal Office of GLP, concerns how to measure error and temporal change for a variety of applications, in particular for GIS-based land change simulation. GLP Member Robert Pontius of Clark University shows how to avoid common mistakes and to use enlightening techniques such as the Total Operating Characteristic and Difference Components. Deadline to register is 15 June 2020.
Monday, September 3, 2018 (All day) to Wednesday, September 5, 2018 (All day)
GLP is pleased to announce the 2018 GLP Asia Conference in Taipei September 3-5, 2018. The teleconnections and telecouplings offer conceptual frameworks to evaluate socio-economic and environmental interactions over distances. In order to transition to environmental sustainability, the frameworks are helpful to measure drivers and impacts of the interactions, and to model the interactions from global to local scales.
Monday, June 4, 2018 (All day) to Friday, June 8, 2018 (All day)
In June 2018, the Centre for Mountain Ecosystem Studies will host the second international Mountain Futures Conference. Mountain Futures 2018 will offer unique opportunities to participate in and shape the new activities of the Mountain Futures Initiative, and continue knowledge and innovation-sharing for all with interests in mountain regions.
Monday, September 4, 2017 (All day)
A workshop discusses pilot studies of land resources in Taiwan will be held in Taipei on 4 September, 2017. The workshop aims to conduct a platform for researchers and scientists to exchange and share the studies, to investigate contemporary land issues, and most importantly, to impact and collaborate with one another, facilitate the future study and following works.
Wednesday, March 29, 2017 (All day) to Friday, March 31, 2017 (All day)
The GLP & ERC 677140 MIDLAND project (Developing middle-range theories linking land use displacement, intensification, and transitions) held a joint workshop “Middle-range theory development in land system science: Beyond box-and-arrows frameworks” this past March 29-31 in Weggis. Led by SSC members Patrick Meyfroidt and Rinku Roy Chowdhury, the workshop aimed to stimulate theoretical thinking in the LSS community, in particular on theories explaining some of the major processes in land systems including land use expansion, intensification, transitions and displacement.
Monday, November 9, 2015 (All day) to Wednesday, November 11, 2015 (All day)
A seminar held in Brazil brought together 23 regional experts to discuss 1) monitoring land systems, 2) social-ecological dynamics of land systems, and 3) telecouplings and governance of land systems in Latin America.
