5th Students’ Geographical Conference NEW WAVE

Where the Physical and Social Meet and Challenge Each Other

June 7th – 8th, 2013

Prague, Czechia

 

The conference is organized by Section of Geography, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, and by Czech Geographical Society.

Building on a tradition of quality papers and stimulating debates from previous years, New Wave will bring together graduate and post-graduate students in geography and related fields to share their research ideas and results, giving participants the opportunity to interact in a dynamic and open atmosphere.

Where the Physical and Social Meet and Challenge Each Other

Geography is a complex science, where physical and social realities are bound together. Both the physical and social is inevitably blended in various concepts of place, locality, landscape, region, space and time. Unfortunately, separation of knowledge in physical and human geography is still persistent. Geographers are becoming more specialized in their specific discipline, cooperation is often problematic, and rarely do we write articles together, nor meet at conferences. This conference is meant to bridge disparities and to seek not only connections between physical and human geography, but also among other scientific disciplines such as demography, ecology, sociology, humanities and more. Participants are encouraged to bring an interdisciplinary approach to their research.

 

Programme:

June 7th 2013: Presentation of papers

The conference will be held at Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Science, Albertov 6.
