We are delighted to announce this year's National Landscape Forum which will take place in Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Sept 25-26th. 2025 marks a milestone year for landscape discussions in Ireland as we reflect on the expiring National Landscape Strategy, the 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking European Landscape Convention, and the 30th anniversary of the forum itself. Now, more than ever, it is critical to address complex, interdisciplinary and value-laden landscape issues while navigating the major transformation of the Irish Planning System and delivering on objectives for climate and compact growth. Full details and tickets are available at the link below. All very welcome.

The Irish Planning Institute has just published its newly revised Education Guidelines for accredited planning schools, with landscape character, values and sensitivity listed as an 'essential and required' subject area.
