Seminar Description

The European Landscape Convention (Florence, 2000) aims to promote European landscape protection, management and planning, through the adoption of national measures and the establishment of European co-operation between the European member states.

Recently the INSPIRE directive proposed the Definition of Annex themes and scope (version 3 – 2008). We may expect that this definition includes the data that supports our interest in cultural-historic landscapes and regional identities.

Knowing the geo-data sets as described by the INSPIRE Definition we wondered if these data do support the Landscape convention goals. During this seminar four renown researchers gave their opinion based on their own research upon the definition of cultural-historic landscape, operating that definition by geo-data, the nature of such data, and what steps to make to include such data in the INSPIRE Annexes.

The seminar preceded the PhD thesis defense of Gerd Weitkamp.
