The Erasmus+ project “PlaCES – Improving Landscape Planning and Design with Cultural Ecosystem Services in HEIs” (11/2024-10/2027) will develop open access learning material to facilitate the integration of Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) in Higher Education curricula. Students from the participating universities will test and apply the innovative teaching-learning method in theoretical and practical sessions such as webinars, fieldwork and a transnational intensive course, using urban riverscapes as examples of complex human-nature systems.
