RGS-IBG 2022 Annual Conference - Call for Sponsored Sessions
The Quantitative Methods Research Group (QMRG) is inviting proposals for Special Sessions for the forthcoming RGS-IBG Annual International Conference, which will take place from Tuesday 30 August to Friday 2 September 2022 at the University of Newcastle.
We would be particularly interested in sponsoring sessions which illustrate how various types of data (from census to micro-data and new sources of big data) and cutting edge computational methods can help us understand Geographies beyond recoveries, following the conference’s theme. We are also open to other session proposals, which are within the remit of QMRG.
The proposals can lead to paper sessions, poster presentations or panels. We would encourage proposals for sessions led by post-graduate students.
QMRG has access to a limited number of passes for non-RGS members, and this might be an opportunity for session organisers to invite non-academics (e.g. from industry) as presenters or discussants.
How to submit your proposal
Please send the following information to Emmanouil Tranos (e.tranos@bristol.ac.uk) by 11th March 2022:
- Session title and abstract (250 words)
- Session organisers name, affiliation and email
- Session format and how many timeslots you are requiring
- Indication of preferred format (in-person, hybrid or online).
We will assess all the proposals and get back to you after the 11th March in order to submit the RGS-IBG form by the 25th March. More information can be found here.
