Conference Themes
- Challenges and Experiences of Expropriation – Expropriation, eminent domain, compulsory purchase, takings, land grab. This issue is contentious and raises social welfare concerns now more important than ever. Despite the problems identified and explored over the ages multiple challenges still remain and these concerns differ across the Globe. At ILM2 we welcome contributions exploring the current expropriation regulations across continents, discussing practices, and social, political and economic tensions and experiences that inform improved decision-making.
- (Co)Land Rights and Management – Collective, cooperative, communal land and property rights. From rights associated with residential, commercial uses or agricultural production, to collective rights to natural resources, at ILM2 we welcome contributions considering the changing nature of the various types of (co)land rights and implications for their users, co-owners and others benefiting from social value they generate.
- Financing of Land Administration – Despite the acknowledged role of national systems for land administration, in many developing countries the land administration systems do not provide complete coverage and registration levels may be low, with lack of financing often raised as a constraint. At ILM2 we welcome contributions that seek to identify how these financial constraints may be addressed leading to more sustainable longer-term solutions.
- Building Capacity Development and Professionalisation – There has been enormous growth in knowledge-based products that can be accessed by the international land community, and there are many education providers able to support capacity building through both formal qualifications and short-term professional development. However, there remain key weaknesses in many land agencies worldwide with high vacancy levels and difficulties in accessing professional support (both public and private sector). At ILM2 we welcome contributions about new and innovative ways to increase competence, build capacity and professionalism throughout the land sector globally.
