Abstract

ECLAS, the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools, exists to foster and develop scholarship in landscape architecture throughout Europe by strengthening contacts and enriching the dialogue between members of the Europe's landscape academic community and by representing the interests of this community within the wider European social and institutional context. The council has organised an EU-funded thematic network project, LE:NOTRE, since 2002 which is currently being transformed into a self-standing institute. During the last years ECLAS has put many important projects on the way, amongst others the tuning project for landscape education, the estsablishment of a European academic journal for landscape architecture (JoLA) and the fostering of better collaboration of European doctoral students.
