What is IALE?
The International Association for Landscape Ecology promotes interdisciplinary
research and the development of knowledge in landscape-related fields (e.g.
landscape architecture, natural sciences, geography and social sciences), and
fosters communication between scientists and practitioners. IALE-international
was founded in 1982, has a president (currently Bob Bunce from ALTERRA, NL),
a secretary general (currently Marion Potschin from University of
Nottingham, UK), and an executive committee that focuses on coordination among the various chapters. IALE also sponsors an international congress on landscape ecology every four years, and supports the well-known international journal, Landscape Ecology.
What is IALE-Switzerland?
IALE-International is structured such that countries establish their own chapters, hold their own meetings and organize activities that best meet the needs of their landscape ecological community. IALE-Switzerland is the Swiss chapter of the International Association for Landscape Ecology. By joining IALE-Switzerland, you will automatically become a member of IALE-International.
