About this network

The Global Landscape Research Network connects researchers and practitioners working across multiple regions worldwide, including areas not currently represented by a dedicated regional network. It provides a flexible space for cross-regional exchange and supports the incubation of emerging landscape research communities.

The network acts as a hub for dialogue between regions, enabling participants to share perspectives, identify common challenges and develop collaborative ideas that span geographic boundaries. It is particularly suited to researchers working internationally, those whose work spans multiple regions, and participants interested in helping develop new regional or thematic initiatives.

Activities may include informal discussions, cross-regional exchanges, collaborative conversations and opportunities to share research, events and publications. The network is intentionally light-touch and adaptive, designed to evolve in response to participant interests and emerging areas of landscape research.

The network also provides a pathway for establishing new regional activity. Participants interested in developing new networks, supporting emerging groups, or connecting activity across regions are encouraged to contact LRG to explore opportunities.

Participation is open to anyone interested in landscape research worldwide. English is used as a practical working language, with contributions in other languages welcomed where possible.
