Land use is receiving increasing attention due to its manifold repercussions on human wellbeing and the environment. The IAMO Forum 2012 will provide a platform for research that investigates the main trends and drivers of land use in transition economies of Eastern Europe, the Former Soviet Union, and East Asia. The conference contributions shall exploit a wide variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to capture the prevalent changes and modifications of land use. These include agricultural abandonment and recultivation, changes in farm size and farmland fragmentation, the emergence of large-scale agricultural production units, extensification and intensification of agriculture, logging and forest transitions.
The IAMO Forum 2012 is jointly organized by the Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Central and Eastern Europe (IAMO), the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (SILVIS Lab). The conference will feature distinguished and internationally renowned keynote speakers such as Klaus Deininger (World Bank), Helmut Haberl (Alpen-Adria Universität), Grigory Ioffe (Radford University), Max Spoor (The Hague-Erasmus University), Jo Swinnen (University of Leuven), and Peter Verburg (University Amsterdam).
The deadline for organized sessions is on 19 Nov 2011 and we welcome proposals for papers and mini-symposia until 27 January 2012. In order to facilitate the participation of talented young researchers we offer a limited number of travel/accommodation grants (depending on availability of funds).

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
