CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Postgraduate Forum Mid-Term Conference provides a relaxed, supportive, yet academically relevant atmosphere for postgraduate geographers, from all aspects of the discipline, to present their research and discuss ideas. The conference is also a social event and an ideal opportunity to meet up with other postgraduates.
