The EPD-Net consortium is pleased to celebrate the recognition of its team member, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Maria Gabriella Trovato, with the 2026 President’s Award of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA).
This prestigious distinction recognises her contributions to humanitarian landscape architecture, ecological restoration, and socially inclusive approaches to landscape recovery, particularly in communities affected by conflict, displacement, and environmental challenges.
