GoverNat Conference

Conference on

Governance of Natural Resources

in a Multi-Level Context

 

20 - 22 January 2010, Leipzig, Germany

 

GoverNat invites the research community, administrators and NGO representatives to present own approaches and experiences and to discuss the project's results in natural resource governance in an attempt to bridge the present distance between abstract theoretical formulations and specific but isolated case descriptions.

 

 

The submission of abstracts for the conference was possible until July 15. You can access the registration portal and submit your product there. For more information, please click on Registration in the navigation pane on the left.
