for EUGEO 2011, which will immediately proceed the usual RGS-IBG conference.

Conference themes
The
EUGEO 2011 Congress will be organised around three central themes:
Call for Sessions
Researchers,
academic staff, policy-makers and others are invited to submit organised
sessions of papers or panel discussions for EUGEO 2011. Sessions should
focus on the intersections between policy and geography in Europe, and
especially on the roles geographers and geographical research have to play in
supporting current and future European-wide policy.
Sessions will be 1 hour 40 minutes in length but the format is flexible; contributed
papers, poster sessions, panel discussions, practitioner forums, or other
innovative sessions or formats are encouraged. The organisers especially
encourage sessions that incorporate contributions from both practice/policy and
academia, and include presentations by early-career researchers.
Submit a session proposal
The
Call for Sessions is now open. To submit a session proposal for EUGEO 2011,
please visit the Congress website, http://www.eugeo.org/index.php/congress/call-for-sessions.
The deadline for submitting completed session proposals is Friday 25 February 2011.
Call for Papers
The
conference organisers invite proposals for individual
papers/posters/presentations at EUGEO 2011 on topics relating to the three
conference themes. Paper/poster submissions to open sessions will be
reviewed by the conference organisers, and allocated to sessions based on topic
and relationship to the conference themes. Authors may also wish to
submit a paper/poster to a session being independently organised, or to organise
a session which includes their own paper/poster. Please visit the
Congress website for further information about all these options: http://www.eugeo.org/index.php/congress/call-for-papers.
The deadline for submitting paper/poster proposals is Friday 18 March 2011.
