Economic Geography Research Group

Fostering research in Economic Geography

Events and Conferences

Introduction

The Economic Geography Research Group is involved in organising two key events during the year. The first, the RGS-IBG Annual Conference , provides an opportunity for academics and hopefully policy-makers to meet, present and discuss their work.

The second is an annual two-day workshop composed of two elements:

  1. a cutting-edge research theme symposium that provides a forum for emerging ideas in economic geography to be discussed. Here we are particularly keen to encourage the participation of academics from other disciplines;
  2. a postgraduate symposium that provides a forum for postgraduates and those early in their careers to present and discuss their work in a supportive environment.

Whilst in the past these two symposia were held as separate one-day events, since 2006 we have brought them together in a combined event to benefit from intellectual crossovers and 'economies of scale'!
