Map of Premises

Geography contains knowledge, provides skills and generates unique opportunities that allow us to understand the meaning of, and intervene in, the changes occurring in the world.

The consolidation of territorial dynamics originating in the past or the “shrinking” of times and spaces associated with technological innovations impose new responsibilities on the research, training and professional practice of the geographer.

It is about this ‘Compromised Geography’ with the vertigo of the world’s recomposition, on different scales of analysis, whether environmental, geopolitical, social, economic or, among others, educational, that we challenge you to come to FLUP – Porto, Portugal – to share methods, processes and experiences that allow geographers to streamline procedures.

 Conference Strands:

• What is the importance of the Noosphere in the dissemination of geographic knowledge?
• What options for a (more) intelligible and effective geographical discourse?
• What are the implications of AI in the evolution of geographic methodologies?
• How to promote a (less) committed geographical research?
• What’s the organization of a new deglobalized world?

Keynote speakers

Nico Van de Weghe (Ghent University, Belgium)
How Generative AI is Changing Our World

Miguel Bandeira (University of Minho, Portugal)
The local geography, by the irreplaceable virtue of the direct and live
