BASCE: Benelux Association for the Study of Art, Culture, and the Environment (website). https://beneluxenvironmentalhumanities.wordpress.com/.

The Benelux Association for the Study of Art, Culture, and the Environment (BASCE, pronounced baisy) was founded in 2012. It is an interdisciplinary tri-national platform through which all those who are interested in the environmental humanities can be informed about the latest national and international developments, as well as exchange ideas and plans for research projects. The platform, now hosted by the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Analysis, may in the course of time become an affiliated organization of ASLE-UKI, EASLCE, and NIES, with which it will closely cooperate. The platform brings together teachers, scholars from various disciplines, artists, writers, environmentalists, students, and all those interested in the relation between art, culture, and environmental issues in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg.

The BASCE organizes events around environmental topics, mostly in the environmental humanities but also with speakers from outside academia. The website includes information on past conferences, symposiums, and seminars, while the Book Reviews section offers a collection of recent environmental studies. To learn more about various groups studying and promoting the environmental humanities one can browse the Organizations page.
