Planned Events

IGU-UGI

Meetings
A special conference is planned for 2009 for members to give papers towards a new 'Models in Geography' project based on the same format as the seminal work of Chorley and Haggett in 1967. In addition to the regional conference to be held in 2010, the Commission plans to organize workshops and special-topic conferences throughout 2008-2012.

Publications
The Commission is strongly committed to the encouragement of scholarly publication derived from the work of its members and their contributions to symposia. Theoretical and empirical research will be published as special issues in journals and edited volumes in books.

Networking
The Commission plans to organize sponsored sessions with academic and research organizations in the years to follow. Collaborations with other Commissions will also be made to capitalize on our capabilities in formulating formal and practical approaches to solve problems relevant to the missions of the Commissions concerned.

Funding
A special conference for 'New Models in Geography' project is planned for North Queensland in 2009 and in principle agreement has been reached for sponsorship by the Australian Research Council Research Network in Spatially Integrated Social Sciences (ARCRNSISS).

Membership
The Commission intends to further expand its membership by actively engaging geographers in our initiatives and activities, and to become members of the Commission.
