Conferences

In 1997 the Society initiated the “Inaugural Fourth Year Student Project Conference”, now known simply as the “Honours Conference”. The aim of the conference is to showcase honours research undertaken in university geography (and cognate areas) across the State of NSW.

The conference aims include:

• To provide an opportunity for recently completed honours students to communicate the results of their research
• To showcase the variety of honours projects being conducted at NSW universities, and
• To provide avenue for these students to present a conference paper on their research in a supportive environment, gain constructive feedback and meet students and staff members from other universities
• To enable Honours students to share their research experience with Honours candidates from various universities

The one-day conference brings together recently completed Honours students who are working in a range of Schools in NSW and who have focused on a particular aspect of geographical research during their Honours year.

The conference is now an annual event hosted at the universities in rotation:

Programs and abstracts from some of the more recent conferences can be found in the Conference Abstracts category in the Resource Library.
