ForumAlpinum is a scientific conference aiming to promote international research cooperation on topics of relevance across the entire Alpine Arc. From June 12–14, 2024, ISCAR organises the next Forum Alpinum in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. This year, we would particularly like to invite students, young and early-career researchers from various scientific disciplines to present posters with their research findings relating and relevant to the Alps.
Forschungsprojekt: Inscuntrar
Die Bedeutung der Landschaft verändert sich stetig, dabei bleiben naturnahe Kulturlandschaften unter Druck. Im Rahmen des Projektes Inscuntrar wird am Beispiel des Kulturlandschaftswanderwegs in der Gemeinde Valsot aufgezeigt, welche Leistungen intakte Landschaften erbringen und welchen Mehrwert sie insbesondere im inneralpinen Raum bieten.

Switzerland had two projects for new national parks, namely the Adula Park and Locarnese Park, both of which were rejected by the local population. Greater consideration should be given to subtle power dynamics in future to ensure the creation of more equitable conservation projects.

Look around you – what do you see? Unique urban landscapes with specific characteristics, identities, and landmarks? Or homogenous urban landscapes repeating similar shapes, materials, colours, and functions?

Gemäss jüngsten Meinungsumfragen nimmt die Mehrheit der Schweizer Bevölkerung einen grossen Graben zwischen Stadt und Land wahr. Hier das innovative und vorwärtsschreitende Urbane, dort das traditionelle und tendenziell rückwärtsgewandte Ländliche. Die gemeinsame Tagung der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für ländliche Geschichte SGLG und der Empirischen Kulturwissenschaft Schweiz EKWS will diese Polarität aufbrechen, indem sie die «Bilder der ländlichen Gesellschaft» in einem interdisziplinären Zugang analysiert. Die Tagung findet vom 7.-8. November 2024 im Schweizerischen Agrarmuseum Burgrain statt. Es werden noch Themenvorschläge gesucht bis am 31. März!

ForumAlpinum 2024 titled "The Alps – a Refuge of Bio- and Geodiversity?" will focus on biodiversity and geodiversity that are under severe threat - worldwide and especially in sensitive ecosystems like the Alps. This ForumAlpinum will identify hotspots of bio- and geodiversity, their monitoring and management in the Alps, analyse land use conflicts and their impact on bio- and geodiversity, and assess the relevance of bio- and geodiversity protection in the regional, national or international context to discuss possible solutions.
