Research Groups

The Society’s Research Groups bring together active researchers and those with a professional interest in a particular aspect of geography and related disciplines. 

Research Groups meet at the Annual Conference when they also hold their AGMs.  Throughout the year there is a varying level of activity for each Research Group with seminars, conferences, workshops, reading days etc.  Joining a research group enables you to:

  network with collegues with similar research interests
  keep up to date with the latest research in your specialised field
  receive information on conferences, workshops and funding opportunities
