Student Conference 2024
Student Conference 2023
Calling all Geography Postgraduates!
Come and tell us what you are doing and listen and learn from others!
The SSAG 2023 Student Conference will be hosted by the Department of Geography at the Qwaqwa Campus of the University of the Free State from 2 to 4 October 2023.
The conference will be hosted in hybrid format to allow maximum participation opportunities. While the world has become accustomed to online conferencing in a short space of time, we know that there is something very special about the networking and interaction associated with a physical conference. So we do encourage you all to make plans to come and join us in the stunning eastern Free State and meet other fellow postgraduate students who could become your future collaborators!
We are the geographers for the future. So come and share your research by way of an oral presentation in one of the following themes:
• Human Geography
• Physical Geography
• Geoinformatics
• Environmental Geography
• Education in Geography
Potential presenters are invited to submit abstracts online via the portal on the website. All abstracts must be submitted using the format provided.
