Workshops

Workshops are an important element of the EUROPARC Federation Conference. They provide an opportunity for members to discuss strategic and technical topics in more detail. It is a chance also, to members to hear of new developments, ideas and best practice in the specific workshop topics. They are also a great opportunity to delve into a subject and engage in interesting discussions with colleagues from all over Europe.

The 15 workshop topics listed below were chosen to highlight important aspects of the conference theme 100 years of National Parks in Europe: a Shared Inheritance, a Common Future. Priority areas in the European environmental agenda, including biodiversity, climate change and the marine environment, were also considered when developing workshop themes.  More detailed information on the workshop topics in English, French and German is available below.
