Mission
The DSL was founded in 2010. The DSL’s mission is to ensure a strong national and international positioning of the Dutch professional practice, research and training for garden and landscape architecture. She does this, among other things, by:
- providing a platform for quality improvement;
- to contribute to the development and exchange of knowledge;
- contribute to a research agenda;
- promotion of the (inter)national network in the field of landscape architecture for work and study;
- supporting partners in research and development;
- formulating common projects.
The DSL distinguishes itself from other organizations because it works from the integral perspective of the Dutch field: professional practice, education and research.
