The Global Change Research Institute of the Czech Academy of Science and the Mendel University in Brno in cooperation with
the Science for Carpathians and the Institute of Landscape Ecology of SAS, the Centre for Ecological Research in Budapest, the University of Vermont, the Pedagogical University of Krakow, the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, the University of Bucharest, and the Ukrainian National Forestry University cordially invite your participation in:
An international scientific conference
6th FORUM CARPATICUM – Linking
the Environmental, Political and Societal Aspects for
Carpathian Sustainability
Due to the minimal interest in the in-person form, the conference will be organized only online. The final deadline for registration and fee payment is 17th June.
The Forum Carpaticum is an open meeting of the Science for the Carpathians (S4C) initiative. S4C – Science for the Carpathians – connects scientists in Central Europe, defines research priorities for the region, provides applicable findings for the politics of the region and enhances international collaboration with partners from outside the Carpathians.
Conference Venue
The conference will be held from 21st June to 25th June 2021 as an online event.
Conference goals
- Advance Carpathian research on climate, water, ecological processes, nature conservation, sustainable use of natural resources, human-environment interactions, education for sustainable development
- Actively encourage researchers and stakeholders to exchange ideas, knowledge and research results, fostering dialogue between researchers, policy makers, and practitioners
- Promote new inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary collaborations, establishing links between S4C, local and regional authorities, and stakeholders involved in environmental management
Conference themes (including, but not restricted to)
- Assessment of climate change vulnerabilities within forest and agricultural sectors, as well as associated adaptation opportunities
- Concepts of the Biological & Circular-Economy and relationships with sustainable use of natural resources in the Carpathians
- Effects of biodiversity loss on provisioning of ecosystem services in the Carpathians
- Rural-urban relationships, including connectivity of green infrastructure and surrounding landscapes
- Conservation science and practical policy measures to promote sustainability
- Carpathian waters – from knowledge to management and sustainable use
- Advances in earth observations for sustainable development
- Traditional land management, rural development, smart & sustainable planning, social innovation, and sustainable tourism
- Historical human-environment interactions, including environmental crime, such as illegal logging
- Spatial justice (the rural urban divide, rural urban interlinkages, the delivery of services of general interests), and governance (that includes any legal act or normative rules as well as other formal or informal instruments or tools to manage or steer transition processes)
- Present and future education for the sustainable Carpathians
Call for abstracts (for oral presentations and posters)
Participants are invited to submit abstracts of papers and posters related to the themes of the Conference. The abstract must be written in English. To submit an abstract please follow this procedure and make use of the template on the conference website: DOCUMENTS.

Abstract Proceedings will be provided to the participants on the conference website. The Organizing Committee will try to find the appropriate publishing opportunities for all oral presentations and posters in special issues of scientific journals (e.g. MDPI journals as the Sustainability with link https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability).
Official language of the conference will be English.
