A set of special sessions will be organized in order to identify current issues of relevance in the international context for both research and agritourism practices.
The Congress organisers invite all interested professionals (or practitioners) researchers, public and private institutions, as well as international networks and initiatives related to agritourism to propose a thematic session by taking as reference one of the key themes of the congress. We welcome thematic proposals deriving from all kind of disciplines and concerning both basic or applied research. The link to the concept of Agritourism needs to be evident and you are encouraged to keep in mind the following criteria before submitting your session proposal. The session should:
- address current research or innovative approaches;
- compose a project team composed by experts/researchers of different national origin;
- include contributions from both the academia and external experts or policy-makers;
- propose interactive/innovative formats (e.g. world/theme café, speed dating, workshop, poster, …);
- focus on specific regions / countries or promise contributions from different countries;
- refer to one or more established research and agritourism networks;
- maximise the diffusion of results through, for example, their publication in special issues or books;
- include early-career researchers as organisers and/or speakers;
