Who We Are

Who We Are
We are a growing pan-European network of scholars, teachers, practitioners, and stakeholders whose work spans landscape architecture, archival sciences, arts and humanities, and related fields. The project is coordinated by a Core Group and a Management Committee. This page presents the members of these two bodies.

Core Group

The core group coordinates the Action’s day-to-day work, provides strategic direction, and supports the working groups in implementing activities and achieving project goals.
