The Institute of Applied and Landscape Ecology of the Faculty of Agronomy organized the eighth international EURORURAL conference this year, focusing on the theme "European Countryside and De-globalization." First launched in 2008, this conference has been held every two years, with the exception of an interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Associate Professor Vaishar, the initiator and main organizer, highlighted the objectives of EURORURAL: "We aim to map research in the European countryside and monitor trends in this field, but above all, this platform provides an opportunity for researchers from various disciplines to collaborate on this topic." This year, the event welcomed thirty scientists from 11 countries.
Professor Št'astná, head of the Institute of Applied and Landscape Ecology, praised the event’s contribution to international cooperation, especially the participation of Israeli colleagues with whom the Institute has long-standing collaborative efforts. In addition to the conference's academic discussions, the Pove Water project was also promoted, emphasizing sustainable water management practices, a vital topic in rural and ecological research.
The conference continues to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and strengthen global ties in the face of emerging challenges in rural landscapes.
