We welcome both oral presentations (onsite or online) and posters. 
The event will feature keynote lectures from well-respected scientists providing state-of-the-art overviews on topics of interest for this conference.

Objectives

Among the main objectives of this conference are:

• supporting young researchers in the European space
• supporting research in developing countries and outside the European Union (Ukraine, Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, etc.). ) or from countries with limited financial resources for research and innovation (Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey) promoting exchanges of experience with internationally recognised researchers
• establishing collaborations between senior researchers and young researchers (early-career researchers: ECR)
• promoting scientific contributions from Central and Eastern Europe at continental and global level, including the publication of a Web of Science volume dedicated to this scientific event, and the production of a scientific report with importance for regional, national and continental territorial and resource management.

In the period 2011-2023, Suceava University together with Geoconcept Association of Applied Geography organized as coordinators 7 international conferences dedicated to climate and environmental change in SE Europe, Carpathian-Balkan region, Black Sea basin and Carpathian basin.
