Die internationale und interdisziplinäre Konferenz bedient die bedeutende thematische Schnittstelle der Landnutzung und Wasserwirtschaft. Sie bietet ein globales Forum für Personen aus Forschung, Verwaltung, Interessenvertretung und Wirtschaft. Nach erfolgreichen Konferenzen in Den Haag (2013), Wien (2015), Den Haag (2017) findet die LuWQ2019 in Aarhus, Dänemark statt.

Die Einreichung von Abstracts ist bis 15. Oktober 2018 möglich.

The “International Interndisciplinary Conference on Land Use and Water Quality, Agriculture and the Environment” aims to discuss the entire 'policy cycle' to enable enhancing the quality of the water environment, which includes problem recognition, formulation of technical options, policy formulation, interaction between policy makers and stakeholders (i.e. pressure groups), policy implementation, monitoring and research. The conference also aims to facilitate networking opportunities between scientists of different discipline backgrounds i.e. economic, social and natural sciences, as well as between scientists, water managers and policy makers. In short, the objectives are:

- to provide a forum for exchange of scientific knowledge, research to better understand 'systems function', modelling and uncertainty;

- discuss the entire policy cycle for water quality improvement; and

- to intensify contacts (a) between soil/water related scientists, agro related scientists, social scientists, ecological scientists and economists, and (b) between scientists, water managers and policy makers.
