The Mediterranean, known for its history, culture, and beauty, has captivated the hearts and minds of people for centuries. From the shores of Greece to the cliffs of Italy, from the ancient ruins of Egypt to the olive groves of Spain, the Mediterranean offers a mass of landscapes that have shaped civilizations and continue to inspire humanity.
Through this conference, we aim to celebrate the connection between humanity and the Mediterranean landscapes, recognizing the interplay between nature and culture. Our goal is to advance a deeper understanding of the complexities that characterize these landscapes by stepping beyond disciplinary boundaries and adopting a comprehensive approach.
Landscapes, in all their forms, hold stories. They are witnesses to history, the products of human intervention, and the sources of inspiration for artistic expression. Through examining the distinct features of Mediterranean environments, the conference seeks to illuminate their ecological, social, and cultural importance.
The conference will be a chance for participants to engage in thought-provoking discussions, presentations, and workshops, led by experts in their respective fields. The conference will discuss topics such as sustainable land management, the impact of climate change on Mediterranean landscapes, the role of landscapes in cultural heritage preservation, as well as economic development, sustainable energy solutions, the intersection of environmental and socio-economic challenges in the region, and much more.
It is great to announce that this conference will be held in cooperation with The University of Granada, a prestigious institution with a long-standing commitment to excellence in education and research. Known for its strengths in fields such as computer science, engineering, environmental sciences, and social sciences. This partnership emphasizes the commitment to extend and welcome more collaborations with many other co-host universities and organizations that encourage knowledge-sharing among academia, industry professionals, policymakers, and environmental sponsors to find positive change and create a more sustainable world.
Conference Scope
The conference "Landscapes Across the Mediterranean (CrossMED)" brings together scholars, researchers, and professionals from multiple fields to explore and discuss the different landscapes found across the Mediterranean region. This conference discusses the intricate connections between the natural environment, cultural heritage, and human activities within these landscapes. By examining the different aspects of landscapes, including their ecological, historical, social, and economic dimensions, CrossMED aims to promote a comprehensive understanding of the Mediterranean region. Through presentations, discussions, and workshops, participants will engage in conversations, exchange knowledge, and develop collaborative networks that will contribute to the sustainable management and preservation of these landscapes for future generations.
Statement of Purpose
The conference "Landscapes Across the Mediterranean (CrossMED)" aims to serve as a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration, bringing together experts from multiple and different fields such as geography, archaeology, ecology, anthropology, and urban planning. The primary objective of CrossMED is to deepen the understanding of the relationship between landscapes and human interactions within the Mediterranean region. By exploring the cultural, ecological, and historical dimensions of these landscapes, the conference seeks to generate innovative ideas and practical solutions for sustainable development and conservation. Through a program of speeches, interactive workshops, and engaging discussions, CrossMED aims to inspire new methodologies and approaches for studying and preserving Mediterranean landscapes. Ultimately, the conference aims to contribute to the creation of a global network of professionals dedicated to the protection and enhancement of these unique and invaluable landscapes.
