Lesvos, Greece, 01-05 October 2010

Under the patronage of UNESCO, the 9th European Geoparks Conference will be a forum to discuss the establishment of new links between European and non-European organizations dealing with geo-conservation, site management and local territorial development. The aims of this conference are the discussion of recent developments and methodologies in establishing and operating Geoparks as well as the impact of Geoparks on the protection and promotion of natural heritage in combination with local development.

The European Geoparks Network was founded in 2000 and is working as a network of cooperation aiming to protect and promote geological heritage as well as to support the sustainable economic development of geopark territories, primarily through the development of geological tourism.
