UniGR-CBS Workshop on NNLT Mapping in the Greater Region

On May 18, a cross-border workshop will be held at the University of Luxembourg and online via Webex, focusing on the challenges of mapping and territorial monitoring in the context of No Net Land Take (NNLT) in the Greater Region.
 

Date and time: May 18, 2026 | Welcome from 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., followed by the workshop from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. 
Location: University of Luxembourg (Belval Campus – Maison du Savoir) or Webex
Languages: FR–DE (simultaneous translation is available only for in-person attendees)

This event builds on the work of the first NNLT symposium held in June 2023, during which it became clear that many subregions have little reliable data or concrete strategies regarding land sealing.

The objective of this UniGR-CBS workshop is precisely to analyze these developments, compare them, and discuss prospects for more harmonized cross-border mapping.

This workshop aims to:

• compare and discuss current approaches to the collection, processing, and visualization of data used in the various subregions of the Greater Region regarding the NNLT,
• identify common challenges, methodological differences, and institutional needs related to monitoring land consumption,
• explore opportunities for cooperation between administrations, GIS services, practitioners, and researchers,
• propose avenues for convergence toward more coordinated cross-border mapping practices,
• contribute to the preparation of a UniGR-CBS Working Paper, intended to serve as a basis for a sustainable strengthening of the science-policy interface regarding land use in the Greater Region.

The detailed program and registration link will follow shortly.

This event is organized by the UniGR-Center for Border Studies and is funded by Interreg GR V A as part of the LATI project.
