The X European Mountain Convention and the I International Conference on Research for Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions comprise the event Mountains 2016, which is going to take place in Bragança, Portugal, October 3-7, 2016. The event Mountains 2016 aims to contribute to awareness of the specificity and importace of mountain areas in Portugal and in the world, and to create and consolidate research networks, especially among Portuguese-speaking countries, so as to promote sustainable development in such regions. The LuMont network has been recently established with such purpose, and enrolment of CIMO members in it is encouraged. More event information is available on the Mountains 2016 webpages.
