Focus of research
Research areas of the IfL (click image to enlarge)
The economic and political changes accompanying the political integration of Europe create new regional differences and similarities. Under the heading "New European Geographies" the IfL researches the societal processes associated with these changes, focussing particularly on Central and Eastern Europe. Findings fom Western Europe are also used for comparative studies.
Our research falls into three categories:
- the production of space
- geovisualisation
- the history of geography
In these fields the IfL aims to make a significant contribution to our understanding of the spatial organisation of society and its development in Europe.
