Mountain Resources and their Response to Global Change
Key Contact Workshop: 4 July 2012, Ankara, Turkey
Conference: 5-6 July 2012, Ankara, Turkey
Background
The SEEmore network was established in 2009 to further interdisciplinary and demand-driven Global Change research in the mountains of South Eastern Europe and Turkey. The SEEmore Conference 2012 is an international conference going beyond the network’s original delineation, as it includes mountains systems of the Caucasus, Iran, Levant, Middle East and Israel. It is also an expansion in terms of expertise. Apart from Global Change researchers, it invites representatives from practice to enter the dialogue with the research community, ultimately aiming at making mountain research problem- and user oriented.
Objectives
• Expand and strengthen Global Change research in mountains of Southeastern Europe, Turkey and neighboring countries.
• Support the dialogue between representative from mountain research and practice.
• Capitalize and provide access to scientific knowledge and experiences on mountain research and development in the region.
