EAHN, European Architectural History Network

Referente per il DIST Andrea Longhi

The European Architectural History Network (EAHN) supports research and education by providing a public forum for the exchange and dissemination of knowledge on the history of architecture in Europe amongst scholars throughout the world.

The EAHN was set up in 2005 as an open network that anyone with an interest in European architectural history was free to join. Its first actions were to create a website and a quarterly online newsletter. In 2010, the first international conference was held at Guimaraes in Portugal. Now an established biennial event, the 2012 conference takes place in Brussels, and the 2014 conference will be in Turin. In intermediate years, a national conference, linked with a study tour, is held at a different location: in 2011 in Scotland, in 2013 in Brazil.In 2013, the EAHN launches an on-line peer review journal, and a new website supersedes the newsletter. Membership is open to both individuals and institutions, on payment of the set dues. Governance is by a committee, to which any member may nominate themself, and which normally meets twice a year. There are four elected officers, responsible for the general management of the EAHN, and answerable to the committee. The EAHN maintains a permanent office, located at TU Delft.

The EAHN is affiliated to both the Society of Architectural Historians (USA) and the College Art Association (USA). Elected Officers (2010-2013) : President: Adrian Forty (UK); Vice-President: Mari Hvattum (Norway); Secretary: Maarten Delbeke (Belgium/Netherlands); Treasurer: Tom Avermaete (Netherlands) The journal editor is Maarten Delbeke.

EURA, European Urban Research Association

Referente per il DIST Cristiana Rossignolo

The European Urban Research Association(EURA) was launched at an international conference held in Brussels, Belgium in September 1997 after the proposal to create a new association of urban researchers was first discussed at an international seminar on ‘Shaping the Urban Future’ held in Bristol, England, in July 1994.

EURA is mainly European through its membership and expertise. As the world goes urban, it is therefore timely to review and reflect the role and function of the city in a changing Europe, examine European cities’ similar characteristics (of history and heritage, of design and built form, of politics, governance and democracy, of economic function, of social structure and association) and their distinctive features.

However, Europe is only a small part of our urban future, and it is getting smaller: In a world that is both globalising and urbanising at the same time it makes no sense for urban researchers to limit their perspective to experience within a single continent. Hence, from the outset the European Urban Research Association (EURA) has welcomed dialogue with scholars from countries beyond the frontiers of ‘Europe’. In this globalised context, academic multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary urban debate is needed in the 21st century. So is cross national research and policy exchange. EURA wants to offer a bridge between research and policy. Researchers want to help policy makers support integration, cohesion, and collaboration in the area of urban policy, ambitions often difficult to achieve. Policy makers must in turn recognise that researchers have an important contribution to make. Our shared agenda about urban problems must be developed, explored, extended and indeed challenged. EURA can facilitate the exchange of ideas and fosters the transfer of good practice in urban research and policy. It can also enable common trends to be examined – for example, the experience of economic competition, of social polarisation, of changing democratic form, and of technological innovation – and it enables different responses to be compared.

IUCN, International Union for Conservation of Nature

Referente per il DIST, Angioletta VogheraRoberto Gambino

The IUCN is the world’s oldest and largest global environmental organization and professional conservation network. Conserving biodiversity is central to the mission of IUCN in order to demonstrate how biodiversity is fundamental to addressing some of the world’s greatest challenges such as climate change, sustainable development and food security. IUCN helps the world find pragmatic solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges. Founded in 1948, it is today a leading authority on the environment and sustainable development. The Union’s headquarters are located in Gland, in Switzerland. More than 1,200 member organizations including 200+ government and 900+ non-government organizations; almost 11,000 voluntary scientists and experts, grouped in six Commissions in some 160 countries. IUCN’s work is supported by over 1,000 staff in 45 offices and hundreds of partners in public, NGO and private sectors around the world. A neutral forum for governments, NGOs, scientists, business and local communities to find practical solutions to conservation and development challenges; governance by a Council elected by member organizations every four years at the IUCN World Conservation Congress; funded by governments, bilateral and multilateral agencies, foundations, member organizations and corporations. Official Observer Status at the United Nations General Assembly. IUCN works on hundreds of projects, initiatives and activities around the world (by aGlobal ProgrammeandInitiatives). The IUCN Programme 2013–2016 is driven by two features of life today: Global production and consumption patterns are destroying our life support system - nature - at persistent and dangerously high rates. And people, communities, governments and private actors are underutilizing the potential power of nature and the solutions it can provide to global challenges in fields such as climate change, food security, social and economic development. IUCN terms thesenature - based solutions.

IUCN'stheme-based programmes: Business, Economics, Ecosystem management, Environmental law, Forest conservation, Gender, Global policy, Marine and polar, Protected Areas, Science and knowledge, Social policy, Species, Water, World Heritage.
