The International Association for Landscape Ecology invites proposals for the 2023 World Congress.  The IALE World Congress is the premier event for landscape ecologists worldwide and regular attracts ~1000 attendees.  The event lasts one week and includes plenaries, symposium, oral sessions, posters sessions, a social dinner, and field trips.

IALE is committed to providing the fullest support for hosting the event including loans, direct travel support for young scholars, processes and procedures developed over the past 20 years, program assistance, registration, etc.  We encourage all interested parties to submit a proposal, particularly regions who have not previously hosted, such as Africa and Latin America.   Full proposals are due by January 1, 2021.  However, we will work with any interested chapter to help craft the best possible proposal, based on our decades of experience.  Please contact the World Congress committee co-chairs at any time for assistance: Benjamin Burkhard (burkhard <at> phygeo.uni-hannover.de) and Robert Scheller (rschell <at> ncsu.edu)

Criteria: 
* All proposals must be routed through an IALE national or regional chapter. We will not accept proposals directly from individuals, academic/research institutions, or private companies.
* Provide details about the city, transportation options, and local amenities (e.g. locations for field trips).
* Provide potential venues, the name of institutional (s) support (not sponsors), and name of potential conference chair/co-chair
