Organisation:

Tallinn University is the third largest university in Estonia. The University’s School of Humanities offers both graduate and post-graduate education and hosts the Centre for Landscape and Culture working group which aims at progressing landscape theory, problem-solving approaches and contributions to landscape and management and planning. Its goal is to facilitate both the application of landscape research to practice, and the feedback from practice into research. The centre combines cultural heritage and landscape studies looking at questions of change, practice and meaning-making as well as cultural sustainability.
