After Disentis (CH 1994), Chamonix (F 1996), Garmisch-
Partenkirchen (D 1998), Bergamo and Castione della
Presolana (I 2000), Alpbach (A 2002) and Kranjska Gora
(SI 2004), the seventh ForumAlpinum was hosted again by
Switzerland from April 18th - 21st, 2007. As in 1994, the
Swiss venue was Engelberg, a historic location famous for
its monastery. Some 230 scientists, stakeholders, politicians
and interested laypeople responded to the invitation
to discuss various aspects of "Landscape Development in
Mountain Regions" at this year‘s ForumAlpinum, extended
by the International Scientific Committee for Alpine
Research Iscar, the Swiss Academy of Sciences Scnat and
the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences
SHS. The choice of topic was related to the Swiss national
research programme "Landscapes and habitats of the
Alps" (NRP 48), realized between 2001 and 2007, but to
be discussed in a broader alpine and European context.
Four plenary sessions dealt with "values and valuation",
"transformation processes", "cooperation and decisionmaking
in landscape management" and "the role of landscape
in a changing society". The plenary sessions with
talks by various speakers were complemented by thirteen
workshops, a poster presentation, four project & programme
fairs, film presentations and two excursions. Participants
and invited guests spent the official evening on
the Titlis (3020 m asl), an impressive peak on which Edwin
Bernbaum, Head of the Sacred Mountains Programme
of The Mountain Institute, Berkeley, USA, enhanced our
awareness of sacred mountains around the world.
These proceedings summarize the results of the 7th
ForumAlpinum. I trust that issues addressed at Engelberg
will encourage further research and programmes to
provide our society with greater knowledge in managing
mountain landscape as a cultural heritage and resource
for development.
The next ForumAlpinum will be integrated into Alpweek
2008 and focus on innovation processes in the Alps.
Alpweek 2008 will be held from June 11th - 14st, 2008 at
L‘Argentière-la Bessée, France, in the south-western Alps.
