The
International Conference “CREATOUR 2nd International Conference
Emerging and Future Trends in Creative Tourism” aims to continue the
works developed in the first Conference at Curia (May 2017). It will
bring together creative tourism researchers with creative tourism
networks that will discuss the research and practice of creative
tourism.
The
information and results on the development of the creative tourism
network – CREATOUR – focusing on small cities and rural areas within the
Norte, Centro, Alentejo and Algarve regions of Portugal, is another aim
of the Conference. The conference is organized within the project
CREATOUR: Creative Tourism Destination Development in Small Cities and
Rural Areas (Desenvolver Destinos de Turismo Criativo em Cidades de
Pequena Dimensão e em Áreas Rurais). The overall objective of CREATOUR
is to develop and pilot an integrated approach and research agenda for
creative tourism in small cities and rural areas in Portugal, developing
strong links within and amongst regions. CREATOUR is a national
three-year project (2016-2019) funded under the Joint Activities
Programme of PORTUGAL 2020, by COMPETE2020, POR Lisboa, POR Algarve and
Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia.
The
project builds on three interlinking dimensions of recent cultural and
creative industries development in Portugal: (1) the development of
artistic and creative industry hubs (“arts centres” or “creative
factories”) in repurposed former industrial buildings or in restored
heritage sites in many small cities and rural areas; (2) growing
attention to the (re)vitalization and valorization of tangible and
intangible cultural traditions throughout the country; and (3) the
growth and development (and heightened visibility) of culture and
design-related creative products in Portugal.

Pathways
Europe – Human Dimensions of Fisheries and Wildlife Conference:
Conference Theme: Resurrecting the Wild? Goslar, Germany - September 16 - 19, 2018
Improving
the understanding of human dimensions of natural resource management
and conservation through the application of social and economic sciences
in a sustainable use and conservation context is being perceived as a
major prerequisite for a successful balance of stakeholder interests, as
reflected in the United Nations’ recently adapted Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and in the EU Commission’s “Action Plan for
nature, people and the economy.” However, crossing disciplinary
boundaries and the effective engagement with the human dimensions of
natural resources such as wildlife and fisheries is still uncommon,
sometimes accredited to the lack of awareness about the scope and
importance
of social and economic sciences related to the environment. The Pathways – Human Dimensions of Fisheries and Wildlife Conference
aims at bringing researchers and practitioners together that value the
contributions of social, economic and social-ecological science to the
improvement of natural resource management and conservation. The
conference’s key target audiences are scientists, governmental and
non-governmental natural resource managers, stakeholder groups,
especially land and water users/land owners, and other practitioners in
the field. It wants to attract enthusiastic presenters and trainers
allowing professionals to participate and engage with like-minded
professionals across national, state, and institutional boundaries.
