CLOE final conference 2026
September 16-18, 2026 - CLOE Conference, Genova
The aim of the conference is to reflect on current and emerging challenges for developing sustainable strategies regarding social and environmental protection and justice in rural and mountain areas.
We welcome abstracts that investigate the Project's main topics under environmental, historical, socio-political, economic, engineering, sociological and legal perspectives. We particularly invite doctoral students and early-stage researchers to present papers on research results and ongoing investigations, stressing the methodological aspects, their challenges, or their applicative meaning.
