Dear climate geographers,

 

THERE ARE 9 DAYS REMAINING TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS FOR CCRG SPONSORED SESSIONS

The Royal Geographical Society (RGS) conference will take place in London from Tuesday 29^th of August to Friday 1^st of September at the Royal Geographical Society in London. This year, it will be chaired by Professor Harriet Bulkeley (Durham University, UK), with the Chair's theme being Climate Changed Geographies.

The theme of Climate Changed Geographies means that this year’s RGS conference will be a big year for all of us who work on climate related issues. The RGS Climate Change Research Group (CCRG) is thus keen to sponsor sessions, presentations and activities at the conference.

 

If you are planning to convene a session at RGS 2023, please do submit an application for sponsorship. We are keen to have as many sponsored sessions as we can, in order to ensure they receive due prominence in what is likely to be a busy and exciting conference.

 

The deadline for session proposals is Tuesday 28^th of February. If you would like to be considered for sponsorship, please add the following information to our sponsorship Google form here. The form includes a template to include the following information. If all rows are filled, please feel free to add additional rows. There is no limit to the number of applications for sponsorship, but the total number of sponsored sessions is expected to be twelve.

 

1. Title of session
2. Name of co-sponsoring groups (if applicable)
3. Name, affiliation, and contact details for session convenors
4. Abstract outlining the scope of the session (300 words maximum, excl. references)
5. Indication (if known) of preferred organisation of the session (see here for some suggested formats). Each session lasts for 1hour and 40 minutes
6. Indication (if applicable) of any non-standard arrangements
