The Land International Network for Knowledge (LINK) in collaboration with the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE), the FCDO funded Land Facility Decision Support Unit and RICS invites the submission of abstracts and presentations for the 5th International Land Management Conference (ILM5) that will be held in hybrid mode on 3 and 4 March 2026. Researchers, practitioners, representatives of governments, NGOs, and professional bodies are encouraged to attend and contribute to the conference. We will consider full research papers, project reviews, case studies and other suitable presentation formats. This year our themes are:
- Theme 1: Improving understanding of the political economy factors that influence land governance
- Theme 2: Power and agency in land governance
- Theme 3: Widening perspectives for land governance
- Theme 4: Changing approaches to the economics and financing of land governance
Unlike in the past years, this time we invite early career professionals and junior researchers to submit their abstracts under one of the above themes.
