The 5th conference of the International College of Territorial Sciences, to be held  from November 19th to 21st, 2020 at Campus Condorcet (Paris-Aubervilliers), is proposing to address the theoretical, methodological and practical issues raised by the simultaneous consideration of population, time and territories.
These issues relate to two key challenges:
(1) the aggregation of individual actions or the attributes of individuals within a population on a territory,
(2) the integration of the temporal dimension into the dynamics of populations (human and/or animal) and their territorial identification, at different scales.
These questions could be explored through session proposals related to CIST’s research areas:
– A&T (Actions & territorialisations)
– INFTER (Local Territorial Information)
– MEDIA (Media and Territories)
– MIT (Mobilities, Identities and Territories)
– PAST (Territories over the long-term)
– REMOC (Regionalisation, Globalisations, Circulations)
– SANTE (Territories and Health)

Session proposal guidelines
The languages of the symposium are French, English and Spanish.
Researchers, teaching researchers and doctoral students can propose sessions until Tuesday June 4th, 2019 on : http://www.gis-cist.fr/en/events/appel-a-sessions-population-temps-territoires-cist2020/

 
Proposals should include:
– Title, and subtitle where appropriate,
– Presentation of the issue to be explored (between 180 and 250 words),
– Indicative bibliography on the subject of the session (5 to 10 references).
These first three items should be written in French and in one of the other two languages of the conference (English or Spanish). They will be used to draft the call for papers for the selected sessions.

The following items may be written in one of the other three languages:
– The potential opportunities envisaged (publications, partnerships, network expansion),
– The individuals, teams or laboratories targeted (within or outside the CIST),
– A short CV of the session co-facilitators (1/2 page).
