Don't miss this event organized in Leuven!

This event can be seen as successor to the Belgian Geography Days, aiming to bring together researchers from across the BeNeLux and beyond.

Abstracts are currently coming in, but the submission deadline (8 December) is approaching rapidly.

As the current session proposals illustrate, the conference will cover a broad range of geographic and interdisciplinary topics, including several directly related to geomorphology, hydrology, remote sensing, and/or (not so) natural hazards, such as:

  • Geomorphology and Society: Interactions, Impacts, and Feedbacks in a Changing World
  • Geography from Above – Remote Sensing as a Window to the Earth
  • Do natural disasters really exist? Rethinking risk across different scales and disciplines
  • Learning from the past: Landscape dynamics and relationships to human activity throughout the Holocene
  • Peatland landscapes in the low countries
  • Promoting geodiversity and geoheritage in landscape studies and policies
  • BeNeLux observation, monitoring and measurement

(See the website for the full program).

 

Evidently, a conference is only as strong as the research presented at it. You and your students are therefore warmly encouraged to submit abstracts. Please also feel free to share this message with any colleagues who might be interested.

 

Finally, note that participants with limited financial means — including students from the Global South — can apply for a travel grant.
