Carr appointed to the Scientific Committee of the inaugural BeNeLux Geography

The BeNeLux Geography conference (8-10 April 2026 in Leuven)is organized by the geographical communities of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg, and will provide an opportunity to present and debate work in geography and spatial planning as well as ample opportunities for informal conversation and networking. The conference is a continuation, and scaling up, of the bi-annual Belgian Geography Days (hosted by Namur in 2024) and the Dutch Geographers Days (last organized by KNAG in 2006). As such BeNeLux Geography hopes to provide a forum for geographic conversation that is affordable and easy to reach for colleagues in the Benelux and beyond.

Carr from DGEO was appointed to the Scientific Committee that has further representation from all corners of the BeNeLux region and across the many sub-disciplines of Geography. You can find the list on our website (https://lnkd.in/dZsrZx5w).

A tentative timeline for the organization of sessions and abstracts is in the works. There will be two phases. The Scientific Committee will first propose a foundational set of sessions, which will be supplemented by a general Call for Sessions which will be open between 22 September and 15 October 2025. The Call for Papers/Abstracts will be open between 20 October and 16 November. 

So take a note of those dates and start thinking what new work you might want to share with the BeNeLux geography community next year!
