This year’s postgraduate reception will be taking place on the first day of the conference and will be spread over two venues during the evening. The initial reception event is sponsored and supported by the RGS-IBG and will take place in The Lowther Room. Afterwards we shall reconvene at Eastside Bar & Restaurant for a relaxed social evening providing an opportunity for postgraduate geographers to meet others from around the country.
This year the post-graduate forum is proud to once again sponsor a range of sessions which aim to support and disseminate the work of new and emerging researchers in geography. These sessions are titled Emerging Themes in Geography:

You may have noticed that the RGS-IBG Postgraduate Forum website has changed. The new design is part of a whole new approach; in the coming weeks and months we'll 'switch on' a number of interactive features including user accounts, interactive forums, blogs, and polls that will make the website less of a message board and more of a resource that is able to better serve today's geography postgraduates.

Following the AGM of the RGS-IBG Postgraduate Forum (held at the 2010 Mid-Term Conference in March this year) there were two departments that expressed interest in hosting the 2011 Mid-Term Conference. The candidate geography departments are at Durham University and The University Exeter.
To manage and provide editorial support for the RGS-IBG journals: Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers (Editor: Professor Alison Blunt), The Geographical Journal (Editor: Professor Klaus Dodds), and Area (Editors: Professor Kevin Ward and Dr Louise Bracken).
The annual RGS-IBG Postgraduate Forum Mid-Term Conference provides a relaxed, supportive, yet academically relevant atmosphere for postgraduate geographers from all aspects of the discipline to present their research and to discuss ideas. The conference is also a social event, and an ideal opportunity to meet up with other postgraduates.
