FRONTIERS consists of two 4-day EuroConferences focusing on ecological economics research and applications. Both conferences are high-level meetings at the cutting edge of research with up to 100 participants.
FRONTIERS 1 took place at New Hall, Cambridge, UK, 4-7 July 2001. The aim was to address fundamental issues concerning ecological economics.
FRONTIERS 2 will take place on the island of Tenerife, Spain, 12-15 February 2003 and focus on state-of-the art applications of ecological economics for environmental planning and management, in education and for testing the robustness of research tools.
Funding to support these events has been obtained from the European Commission, High-Level Scientific Conferences, Human Potential Programme, 1998-2002, Contract No, HPCF-CT-2000-00207. The main objectives of such conferences are to promote scientific excellence by:
allowing senior researchers to impart their experience to younger researchers; and
creating a framework for networking of EU researchers with scientists outside the Member and Associated States.
Conference Language: English
Selection of participation will be based on submitted suggestions for contributions in the form of papers and/or posters. Some spaces are available for those not presenting.
Young researchers are particularly encouraged to participate. EU grants for young researchers (up to age 35) are available in the form of accommodation and travel grants.
