Population Geography Research Group
The Population Geography Research Group (PopGRG) of the RGS-IBG invites you to submit proposals for sponsorship at the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2025.
The conference will take place at the University of Birmingham and online Tuesday 26-Friday 29 August 2025. The RGS-IBG are planning for an event with in-person, online, and hybrid options (which will be limited). The theme for the 2025 Annual Conference, chaired by Professor Patricia Noxolo (University of Birmingham), is Geographies of Creativity/Creative Geographies.
The PopGRG welcomes session proposals aligned to the conference theme or on population geographies or the geographies of population as broadly defined. This could include but not be limited to: migration; diversity; population transitions; population structures; inequalities; birth, lives and death; different methodological approaches to understanding population geography.
We welcome proposals for all different types of sessions and accept co-sponsorships with other Research Groups.
While sponsorship is not required, we will promote your session along with the other sessions we sponsor, providing your session with broader publicity within the population geography community.
Note, that while sponsorship does not include financial support, you might be able to apply for a guest pass for your session presenters if they meet the eligibility criteria.
Please send the information below to rhj@aber.ac.uk before the close of Monday 24 February 2025.
- Session title
- Session abstract (250 words)
- Session organisers’ names, affiliation, and emails
- Session format and an indication of for how many timeslots sponsorship is requested
- Whether you aim for a co-sponsorship with other groups
We will seek to inform session organisers of the decisions on Monday 17 February 2025.
Key information about the conference can be found on our website, including details on the Chair’s theme, the call of papers and sessions and key dates and deadlines.
