Objectives
- Provide insights in recent conceptual, theoretical and technological developments in landscape ecology that enhance the UN Global Development Agenda 2030 and the African Union Agenda 2063.
- Build a network of knowledgeable, skilled and competent multidisciplinary scientists with competencies to resolve complex issues.
- Facilitate deepening of beneficial science-practice-policy interfaces along ecological sustainability and livelihood thrivability in the midst of increasing stressor
- Increase north-south and south-south networking, collaboration and partnership for increased knowledge creation and scholarship.
Outputs and Outcomes
- Network of landscape ecology
- Publication
- Increased scholarship from African scholars
- Increased collaboration and networking
Target Group
Each summer school is planned for about 40 participants from various disciplines covering the natural and social science. The summer school are envisioned as a mixture of early career and young scientists as well as established scholars.
For the young scientists, the focus will be on PhD and postdoctoral students from African and Germany institutions. Because our topic has a strong sustainability and development orientation, we will also include some policy makers, practitioners and local level people.
