Rural areas in Europe are under increasing and intersecting pressures and transitions. The landscapes, the actors, the uses, the challenges are all changing rapidly. This brings forward new research questions and asks for new approaches, both in terms of theoretical perspectives and in terms of empirics. Therefore, the local organising committee is calling for sessions suiting this focus, on topics as population developments, socio-spatial inequalities, quality of life, smart villages, landscape transitions, rural entrepreneurship, agricultural transformations, rural housing, energy transitions, and climate change adaptation.

The deadline is the 30th of November 2022. You can find all the info on this webpage.
