Dear colleagues,
As promised in 2021, and after two cancellations because of COVID-19, we are happy to inform you that we will organise the 3rd European Rural Geographies Conference in Groningen, The Netherlands, from 26-29 June 2023. After Nantes 2014 and Braunschweig 2017, the European Rural Geography Conference has become a recognized place to meet rural geographers and other rural scholars to exchange ideas and knowledge. So please save the date!
The conference theme is Rural Geographies in Transition. Rural areas in Europe are under increasing and intersecting pressures, but many of these areas seem to be resilient. The landscapes, the actors, the uses, the challenges, and how the rural is produced and reproduced, are all changing rapidly. This brings forward new research questions and asks for new approaches, both in terms of theoretical perspectives and in terms of empirics, on topics such as Population Developments, Socio-spatial Inequalities, Governance and Policies, Economic Challenges, Quality of Life, Smart Villages, Landscape Transitions, Rural Entrepreneurship, Agricultural Transformations, Rural Housing, Energy Transitions and Climate Change Adaptation.
The format of the conference is that we will invite those who are interested to organise sessions on the topic of their expertise and/or in the context of an ongoing research project. The rough timeline for RuralGeo2023 is:
• Half October 2022 - Call for session proposals
• Half December 2022 - Calls for papers
• Half January 2023 – Deadline for submitting papers
• First half of February 2023 – Acceptance of papers (and sessions)
So please take your time to consider organising a session; the official call for sessions will be communicated half October 2022.
At the moment, we are updating our website (www.ruralgeo2023.nl) )and preparing the conference programme, which will at least consist of some plenary sessions, exiting field trips, a policy morning and attention for the EU’s Rural Pact.
We hope to see you all in Groningen in June 2023!
On behalf of the local organising committee, prof. Tialda Haartsen, prof. Martijn van der Heide, prof. Bettina Bock, dr. Koen Salemink & Christina Rundel MSc
