From 11th to 15th of November 2010 the First Terraced Landscapes World Conference took place in Yunnan (China). The event gathered people from all over the world to bring together knowledge and operative perspectives about the terraced landscapes. The ALPTER Project was among the participants, with its representatives from Venetian Regional Government (I) and from University of Ljubljiana (SLO).

Among many fine contributions, the ’Key-note speech’ of prof. Du Guerny draw a scientific and strategic framework about the territorial evolution of terraced landscapes in the Northern Mediterranean area, from the past conditions through the present time, down to future perspectives. In making his survey of the state-of-the-art for strategic researches in this field, he quoted also the ALPTER project for its contribution.
