IALE 2025 PhD course
The next PhD Course Landscape Ecology – From Pattern and Process to People and Action will be
organised on the occasion of the IALE 2025 European Landscape Ecology Congress in Bratislava
(Slovakia).
The course will take place on the days before and after the European congress; participants of the
course will also have to participate in the congress (2-5 September 2025, see iale2025.sav.sk). We will
meet the days before the congress in Bratislava (SK) and afterwards move to Lednice (CZ):
- 1 September 2025 (Bratislava, Comenius University – Faculty of Natural Sciences)
- 5-10 September 2025 (Lednice, Mendel University of Brno – Faculty of Horticulture)
This PhD Course fits in the series of PhD Courses in Landscape Ecology facilitated by IALE-Europe.
Previous editions were organised in 2012 (Évora), 2013 (Manchester), 2015 (Copenhagen), 2017
(Ghent), and 2019 (Milan), each in collaboration with a local university and with around 24 participating
PhD researchers.
The course aims to set the stage for the participants to reflect on their PhD research within the wider
landscape ecological thinking by interacting with young and notably senior researchers. It will consist
of a mixture of lectures on scientific concepts and tools, coaching sessions in groups according to
research topics, feedback sessions on students’ papers, discussion time as well as a field trip to explore
the area of the PhD course.
Deadline for the 1st stage registration is 18 July 2025
