Competence Center Cultural Landscape (CULT)

science.practice.discourse.

Today's modern age is causing great changes in cultural landscapes. The use of landscapes through intensification of land use (agriculture, forestry, settlements, energy generation etc.) leads to ever more profound changes in these high-quality cultural landscapes. Characteristics such as historical elements and diversity, which determine value are irretrievably lost.

The Competence Centre Cultural Landscape works on these current social challenges of sustainable development of the cultural landscape in a cooperative network. To this end, we organise specialist events and further training and thus promote the development of professional standards.

Safeguarding and developing the cultural landscape of the Rheingau and Taunus is a core task and a matter close to the heart of the community foundation Unser Land, the Competence Center Cultural Landscape (KULT) and the knowledge transfer project GeisTreich of Geisenheim University, which is why we want to bring together all those interested in this topic in the region once a year in future, discuss current issues together and contribute to further training.

Conserving wild plants for food and agriculture (WEL) in genetic conservation areas - basics of a new strategy in Germany 28.11.2024, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at Villa Monrepos, Rüdesheimer Str. 5, Geisenheim

The conservation of wild plant species of special importance for food and agriculture (WEL) is a common concern of land users and nature conservation. By signing the International Seed Treaty and the Convention on Biological Diversity, Germany committed itself to establishing a network of protected areas for this purpose. Results of the model and demonstration project "In-situ conservation of wild plants for food and agriculture using umbrella species (IsWEL)" for the implementation of this requirement will be presented at this conference on 28.11.2024 and perspectives of genetic conservation areas will be developed as part of a possible strategy for the conservation of WEL in Germany.

HSG founder Eduard von Lade reimagined for the digital age!

Experience Science at first hand!

1. Geisenheim Science Pub

Date: March 26, 2019
Start: 7.30 p.m.
Location: "Zweiundzwanzig", Lindenplatz 1, 65366 Geisenheim

Free entrance. First come, first served!

Experience Science at first hand! You can look forward to an exciting evening with scientists from Hochschule Geisenheim University amid a cosy vibe at Zweiundzwanzig in Geisenheim's town centre.

Listening, Exchanging, Debating.

Three scientists will present their research topics and afterwards you will have the opportunity to ask questions and exchange views and opinions.

Rules:

We are looking forward to lively debates, but please stay objective!
The Science Pub is all about exchanging views and ideas, therefore we encourage you to ask questions or comment on the talks. However, if you'd just like to listen and enjoy your beer or wine, please feel free to do so ;-)
The evening is not going to be a lecture, nor a black-tie event. Come as you are and feel free to drink and eat at the event.

English speakers are also welcome to attend the event and take part in the debates.

We are planning to organize the Science Pub every last Tuesday of the month: April, 30, May 28 and June 25.
