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.
Agrobiodiversity - Conservation of genetic diversity as a joint task of agriculture and societyon October 21 and 22, 2024 at Biebrich Castle (Blue Salon) in Wiesbaden. Registration on the BHU website: https://bhu.de/veranstaltungen/agrobiodiversitaet-2024/
The future of the cultural landscape in Rheingau and Taunus in the context of land use on 14.11.2024 at 13:30 - 18:00 at Hochschule Geisenheim University, Lecture Hall 10, Villa Monrepos. Registration here: veranstaltungen.hs-geisenheim.de/event/zukunft-kulturlandschaft
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.

Spring school in Geisenheim supported by DECHEMA
Discussing current questions in food biotechnology, learning from experts and peers – that is on top of the agenda of this year’s Spring School for doctoral students and post docs. Expert presentations provide an introduction to subjects such as aroma production and analysis, or enzymes in food production. We are inviting junior scientists to present and discuss their current research projects in order to promote a valuable exchange of experience and ideas.
Based between the Rhine and the renowned vineyards of the Rheingau, this year’s host, Hochschule Geisenheim University, is looking forward to welcoming you to the conference on March 30 – April 1, 2022. The academic program will be rounded off by a welcoming dinner and a wine tasting with wines from the campus winery.
