Food Geographies Research Group
The RGS-IBG Food Geographies Research Group (FGRG) is looking to sponsor conference sessions that examine creative geographies of food or sessions within the realm of food geographies that follow creative formats. You can find more details including possible topics and how to apply.
We also have a limited number of guest passes available for FGRG sponsored sessions.
To confirm your sponsorship through the FGRG, please write to us with the following information below by Tuesday 21 January 2025 and we will get back to you with a decision in one week. This should give you/ session conveyors ample time to make the official submission.
Proposals for session sponsorship should be emailed to muneezay@greenshootsfoundation.org and include:
- Title of session.
- Name of co-sponsoring groups, if applicable.
- Name and contact details for session convenors.
- Abstract, outlining scope of session - 300 words max.
- Number of session timeslots that are sought (session timeslots last 1 hour and 40 minutes).
- Indication of preferred organisation of session, e.g. 4 x 20-minute presentation, plus 20-minute discussion, or 5 x 15-minute presentation, with 5-minute questions for each. We welcome formats that depart from this structure and creative formats, if specified in advance.
- Whether you envisage an online, in-person or hybrid format. The conference this year accepts a range of conference session formats. Please note that the RGS-IBG anticipates very limited support for live hybrid formats, Session organisers wishing to request a hybrid format will be asked to bid for this in a competitive process.
- For transparency reasons, please also inform us if you are submitting sessions to other Research Groups as well.
