The inaugural RGS expedition and fieldwork festival was held from 31 October to 7 November 2022, featuring events over eight days that focused on field science and travel with purpose.
The festival culminated in EXPLORE, the Society’s flagship expedition and fieldwork planning weekend – a unique gathering of leading field scientists and explorers where anyone planning an expedition can get inspiration, make contacts, and seek expert advice.
The festival, and EXPLORE, will return in 2023.
