Development and exploitation of wetlands for centuries. Comparative approaches in Mediterranean and Continental Europe

This conference seeks to paint the fullest possible picture of current research on the development and exploitation of wetlands for comparative purposes, on both a time (from antiquity to modern times) and space scale (Mediterranean and Continental Europe).

The conference will mainly focus on three themes that the organisers wish to highlight and encourage participants to discuss:

• Techniques, structures, know-how
• Development systems
• Features of wetlands
