The European Consortium for Landscape Economics (CEEP) is pleased to announce the first International Conference on Landscape Economics, taking place on 2nd, 3rd and 4th July, 2009 at Vienna, Austria

The purpose of this conference is to give an overview on current economic research on landscape and to sketch the profile of landscape economics as a new scientific discipline.
