As part of each International Geographical Congress, some of the 40+ Commissions organise their own events either before or after the main congress. These provide an excellent opportunity to network in a smaller setting with like-minded people and to forge new research connections.
You can find the details below of all of the Commission events that are planned in association with the main congress. These have their own instructions, deadlines and registration fees. You can find all of this information on the ‘How to participate’ tabs below.
