Welcome! * Isten hozta!

International Society for Ethnobiology Regional Ethnobiology Workshop – Second Eastern European Ethnobiology Workshop

The workshop is being held in Királyrét, Börzsöny, Pest county, Hungary October 13–16th, 2011.

At the First Eastern European Ethnobiology Workshop in Padise we decided to develop our network and as part of that we decided to organize a second workshop in Hungary. Participating scholars are conducting research in Eastern Europe and Northern Eurasia. The idea of this second workshop is to bring together ethnobiologists to share an overview of the latest and planned ethnobiological research in the region, to continue an inter-disciplinary research network and to discuss methodological questions and possibilities.

We also aim to build on our knowledge and contacts to help preserve and  maintain the biocultural diversity of Eastern Europe and Northern Eurasia.

For over two decades, the International Society of Ethnobiology (ISE) has actively promoted and supported the inextricable linkages between biological and cultural diversity and the vital role of Indigenous and local peoples in stewardship of biological diversity and cultural heritage, which includes recognition of land and resource rights, as well as rights and responsibilities over tangible and intangible cultural and intellectual properties. The ISE is committed to understanding the complex relationships which exist between human societies and their environments. A core value of the ISE is the recognition of Indigenous peoples as critical players in the conservation of biological, cultural and linguistic diversity.

The International Society of Ethnobiology (ISE) is a 501(c)3 scientific and educational association located in Vermont, USA and registered in Georgia, USA. The ISE is governed by a constitution and guided by the work of a voluntary Board of Directors who are elected every two years by the ISE membership at a General Assembly held as part of each International Congress of Ethnobiology.
