The call for sessions and papers for the Royal Geographical Society-Institute of British Geographers (RGS-IBG) annual international conference 2024 is now open.

The conference will be chaired by Professor Stephen Legg (University of Nottingham), with the conference theme of Mapping.

Please consider the EnGRG sessions for any topic that includes investigation of energy geographies (broadly defined), ideally linking to the conference theme. See here for guidance on organising sessions.
