Guest passes

GeogEd has a small number of guest passes which cover the registration fee for non-geographers based in the UK and for geographers or non-geographers overseas who may have difficulties in paying their registration fee. More information is available on research groups at the annual conference. We are keen to use these to support those who are contributing to GeogEd sponsored sessions.

For more information or if you have any questions please contact GeogEd Secretary Naomi Holmes at naomi.holmes@york.ac.uk
