I've been connected with Eurogeo for over a decade now through ERASMUS projects which have been funded through Eurogeo or working in association with colleagues linked with EuroGeo at various levels.
Eurogeo now has a new student-created logo for 2020.
Here are the aims of the association:
The principal aims of EUROGEO are to advance the status of geography by:
EUROGEO is concerned with the effective use of open geographic information and to use this to contribute to areas such as demography and migration, sustainability, economic development and urban and rural challenges, hazards, landscape, poverty, democracy and citizen engagement.
EUROGEO promotes the importance of geographical education and spatial thinking as a contribution towards the development of a better understanding of our world and therefore global citizenship. By doing so, EUROGEO encourages the development of a greater global awareness through the medium of geography and an increase in mutual knowledge and understanding.
EUROGEO, in affiliation with other organisations, has produced a large number of publications and has organised geography conferences, meetings and workshops on a regular basis. Representatives of national and regional professional educational associations have been actively involved in EUROGEO.
EUROGEO also supports those seeking to establish or organise national geography associations and those that promote geography as an academic discipline and geographers in the workplace.
It is clear that spatial skills and geographical information are increasingly important especially in Cloud-based, open data environments. The roles that geography and geographers play are being challenged by these new geo-opportunities. Those involved with EUROGEO are seeking to monitor, support and promote these developments.
EUROGEO is a membership-based professional society governed by an elected Presidium. It operates mainly within Europe but increasingly has an international / global remit.
It costs just €40 a year to be an individual member and support the work of the association.
It has its annual conference in Madrid later this year.
Consider joining the European Association of Geographers to reinforce the connections between yourselves and our EU friends and neighbours.
