On Friday we finished our work preparing the draft programme of the up-coming EnergyScapes Conference. We have already send out the first information about the project and the related events in May. I have attached the PDF file to this message which will provide you with some further information about these events. In fact we are organising a number of combined events:

Public Board meeting (before the General Assembly) on October 26th
General Assembly on October 27th, 9:30 – 12:00 CET
Preparatory workshop: Implementation of the European Landscape Convention on October 27th, 12:00 – 18:00 CET
EnergyScapes Field trip on October 28th, 10:00 – 19:00 CET
EnergyScapes Conference (first day) on October 29th, 9:00 – 19:00 CET
EnergyScapes Conference (second day)October 30th: 9:00 – 16:00 CET

The programme will be printed this week and we will forward a number of these to each member organisation. Please let us know, how many examples you need. Feel free to forward the PDF file to others. We will soon open the registration on our web site, but you could also use the paper version of the register card. For any contact regarding the events, please use the following e-mail address: energyscapes@civilscape.eu.

We are still looking for small presentation (10-15 minutes) which showing a good-practise example how civil society organisations (like yours) are dealing with the energy transition and landscape. For example has your organisation organised a meeting about this issue or is planning one in near future? The example could be a practical one or more dialogue oriented. We will have three session: one about projects focusing on energy production (wind turbines, solar fields), another about projects focusing on energy distribution (expanding the power grid, decentralized solutions) and the last one is focusing on energy consumption (changing in house construction, care about building tradition and culture, improving old houses, changing in transport concepts). We are able to offer people who will do a certain presentation during the workshop or conference with free accommodation (hotel room) and some reimbursement for the travel cost. Let us know, if you are interested. We will send you some further informations about this opportunity.

The programme will be published soon on our web site, too. For any questions please contact:
