Postgraduates connect at 2025 mid-term conference

Our 2025 postgraduate mid-term conference took place this week, with over 60 presentations taking place across three days.

The mid-term conference is a longstanding feature of the Postgraduate Forum's annual calendar, attracting over 60 postgraduates from across the UK and around the world every year. The conference offers postgraduates in geography the chance to network with peers, develop new insights and present their research in a friendly and informal setting.

This year’s conference included an online-only day on Tuesday 22 April, followed by two days held at the Society. As well as presentations by postgraduate geographers, delegates also enjoyed keynotes from Dr Tim White on venture capital and parasitic landlordism, Dr Kate Maclean on gender and finance, and Dr Jonathon Turnbull on nuclear natures.

One delegate, Dominika Dmitrzak, commented: “The mid-term conference was hugely enjoyable. It was easily the most interesting, friendly, and motivating conference I've attended. It was a fantastic opportunity to hear about some fascinating work and meet colleagues from across the country. I honestly couldn't recommend it enough and am already looking forward to next year.”

Thanks to all of our delegates, presenters and contributors for their hard work and enthusiasm. See you next year!
