Dr. Rainer Müssner
The Free University of Berlin organised a conference on behalf of The Permanent European conference for the study of the rural landscape (PECSRL) from 4 until 9 September 2006, focusing on the theme: European rural future: Landscape as an Interface. Rainer Müssner from Ecologic gave a presentation about the importance of landscape issues in public policies. This presentation focused on the following key questions: Is "landscape" a priority issue on the national / European policy agenda?, do we have a coherent "landscape policy"? and what can be done to increase the political "weight" of landscape issues?

The PECSRL is an international network of landscape researchers whose interests focus on the past, present and future of European landscapes. PECSRL is an international platform for new initiatives, meetings, and publications about European rural landscapes. It has several working groups and meets every two years in a different European country. It was established in 1957 at an inaugural conference held in Nancy, France.
