The Global Land Project (GLP) is an interdisciplinary community of science and practice fostering the study of land systems and the co-design of solutions for global sustainability. It represents the largest international research network in this field.
GLP had its first open science meeting (OSM) in October 2010 at Arizona State University, Tempe, USA, and its second OSM in March 2014 at Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany, with more than 600 participants from 50 countries.
The upcoming 3rd OSM 2016 of GLP will be held during 24-27th October, 2016 at China National Convention Center, Beijing, China. The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences is the main organizer, under the coordination of Scientific Steering Committee and International Project Office of GLP.
The aim of GLP 3rd OSM 2016 is to bring together large parts of the international research community working on land system issues, showcase the width and scope of ongoing research, help build a community in this highly interdisciplinary field, inspire new research, and facilitate review, theory building and application of science in practice.
The deadline for abstract submission is March 30, 2016 and registration opens until August 25, 2016.
