2nd World Agritourism Congress
2024-05-16 - 2024-05-18 | Bolzano / Bozen, South Tyrol, Italy
For the second time, the World Congress on Agritourism acts as an international platform for scientists, practitioners, associations, stakeholders, businesses, and other actors. The aim is to discuss the state-of-the-art, challenges, opportunities, and limitations of agritourism as well as future development perspectives of this kind of tourism in rural areas worldwide. The overarching question is: What do we have to do to make agritourism a successful and sustainable type of tourism in rural areas. The 2024 edition is specifically dedicated to the agritourism´s contribution to sustainable development and/or challenges linked to its achievement on and off the farm. Agritourism represents a significant organisational and operational change of the farm´s management, economy and living environment. Which practices enable a sustainable management? How to keep a reasonable interactive balance between touristic and agricultural activities? What about new approaches such as regenerative agritourism? The congress wants to explore the social, economic, and environmental transformations for the farm and its environment when offering agritourism. We also assume that Agritourism is more than experiencing agricultural products, farm life and overnight stays in farm buildings. It represents a unique cultural and interactive experience, an asset for keeping rural areas vital and maintain agricultural practices and small structured cultural landscapes. But does this represent the reality? What works, what rather doesn’t? With whom do agritourism establishments cooperate? Are they well integrated in community life? Who are the target groups, and do they change? We look behind the scenes and discuss different perspectives that go beyond farm gates.

World Groundwater Congress 2024
2024-09-08 - 2024-09-13 | Davos
The Swiss Society of Hydrogeology (SSH), the Centre for Hydrogeology and Geothermics of the University of Neuchâtel (CHYN) and the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) welcome you to Davos in the Swiss Alps for a stimulating World Groundwater Congress 2024. “In a rapidly changing world, groundwater is a crucial resource that is under increasing pressure. To anticipate future trends, we need to improve our understanding of how groundwater interacts with rivers, lakes, ecosystems and the cryosphere, and how it responds to extreme events, building on rapid methodological advances. Sustainable groundwater management strategies must take into account the many interactions within the water-food-energy-ecosystems nexus and can only be developed in close cooperation between countries, stakeholders and the society as a whole. At the Congress, we will facilitate interactions beyond the scientific community, involving members from industry, public administration, as well as international organizations and development agencies, to share knowledge and discuss these challenges.”

XIII European Mountain Convention - Shaping the future of mountain economies
2024-10-15 - 2024-10-18 | Puigcerdà, Spain
Organised by Euromontana, the Government of Catalonia and CREAF, the event will build on the 2050 vision for mountain areas articulated during the previous European Mountain Convention held in Calabria in 2022, and will focus on how to make mountain economies more sustainable, resilient and prosperous.
Mountain economies are based on economic sectors that are the beating heart of mountain areas, provide employment to mountain communities and essential ecosystem services to the society at large, and are often embedded in territorial identities and values. However, these value chains face a number of economic, social and environmental challenges, exacerbated by the geographical constraints of mountain areas. The XIII European Mountain Convention will be an opportunity to explore and identify solutions and pathways to overcome some of these challenges.
What to expect? Interactive discussions on how to overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities of mountain areas are a staple of the European Mountain Conventions, and the programme will feature several interactive workshops aimed at finding solutions to a range of issues, including:

How to bring more value to mountain agricultural products?
From raw materials to processing: how to bring the secondary sector back into mountain territories?
How to tap into the potential of digitalization for mountain economies?
How to foster entrepreneurship?
Working with nature: can nature be a business partner?
Working for nature: how to quantify and remunerate ecosystem services from agro-pastoral activities?
What makes mountain communities tick? Is it only about access to services?
Overcoming barriers to attractiveness: how to tackle housing and access to land?
Beyond the local: how to take advantage of rural-urban linkages to build prosperous and resilient mountain economies?

19th Edition Regional Innovation Policies Conference‘Twin Transition, Ecosystems, and Disruptive Innovation’
Venice School of Management – Ca’ Foscari University of Venice ITALY. 23-24 OCTOBER 2025
We are delighted to announce that the 19th edition of the Regional Innovation Policies Conference will be held in Venice, Italy, on October 23rd–24th at the Venice School of Management – Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, San Giobbe Economics Campus
The Regional Innovation Policies Conference has, for nearly two decades, been an important international arena for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange insights on regional innovation and development, and to debate on current regional policies and challenges. The focus of the 19th edition will be on ‘Twin Transition, Ecosystems, and Disruptive Innovation.’
As the European agenda pushes firms and regional economies toward a transition that integrates digital innovations with more sustainable strategies, this edition will be dedicated particularly to assessing and debating the capacity of regional policies to support combined technological, environmental, and social transformations. An opportunity to reflect on how innovation ecosystems targeted by recovery and resilience plans are transforming to follow regional trajectories along this direction. An occasion to understand how regional specializations can be supported in the adoption and upscaling of today’s most disruptive innovations meant to reach sustainable goals.
