International Landscape Workshop

The 2026 edition of the International Landscape Workshop is an on-field interdisciplinary research experience promoted by the UniBg Imago Mundi Lab and mainly addressed to 20 junior researchers (such as PhD candidates, post-doc researchers, etc.). The aim is to integrate geographical and historical theories, methods, and tools with other disciplines – such as linguistics, visual studies, sociology, architecture, urban planning, etc. – to reflect on landscape as a complex and trans-scale concept. It is, therefore, articulated in three main sessions starting from global challenges related to world dynamics and imaginaries launched from a “coinhabiting” perspective by three keynotes speeches about “landscape”, “urbanity”, and “heritage”. Each session, then, focuses on specific case-study considered as “research patch”, the global stakes of which will be highlighted.

A collaborative approach will guide participants in immersive research experiences, based on methods for the global – ecological, just, economic, and digital – transitions to face world challenges, through “territorial patches” analysis.
