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 Europe’s landscape academic community and by representing the interests of this community within the wider European social and institutional context.
The ECLAS president and the ECLAS Executive Committee represent about 100 higher education institutions in Europe plus some non-European members.
The committee oversees the development of the annual ECLAS conference, the progress of JoLA, the Journal of Landscape Architecture, the collaboration with the LE:NOTRE Institute and cooperates actively with IFLA-Europe, IFLA-World, UNISCAPE and the Council of Europe.
Important themes for the upcoming election period are:
