Land- og ferðamálafræði - Geography and Tourism unit Upplýsingasíða landfræði og ferðamálafræði við Háskóla Íslands / Information venue for Geography and Tourism Studies at the University of Iceland

Landfræði fjallar um umhverfi og samfélag. Hún tengir saman þekkingu úr náttúruvísindum, félagsvísindum og hugvísindum og miðar að því að veita yfirsýn og skilning á samspili umhverfis og samfélags, bæði á Íslandi og á heimsvísu. Landfræðingar fást við greiningar á umhverfi og samfélagi og vinnslu landfræðilegra upplýsinga, sem er mikilvægur þáttur í margskonar áætlanagerð, stjórnun og ákvarðanatö

ku um framtíðina.

Í ferðamálafræði er leitað svara við því af hverju fólk ferðast, hvað skapar aðdráttarafl, hvernig aðdráttaraflinu er viðhaldið og hvernig hægt er að byggja upp ferðamannastaði í sátt við umhverfi og menningu.

The afternoon programme at the 11th Nordic Geographers Meeting was rich in inspiring talks! Carina Listerborn's powerful keynote invited us to rethink housing politics through a feminist lens, reminding of geographers important role to address social and political issues.
Meanwhile, all 10 parallel venues were buzzing with activity, hosting sessions dedicated to ongoing research, including a book launch, journal keynote, and short film screening.

The 11th Nordic Geographers Meeting is officially launched!
Today started with a captivating keynote from Andri Snær Magnason. Drawing on themes from Time and Water, he explored the intersections of storytelling, science communication, personal experience, and our understanding of paradigm shifts in a rapidly changing world.

The first parallel sessions followed, filling the programme with inspiring research, lively discussions, and new perspectives. A few highlights, and perhaps a few familiar faces, from an excellent start to NGM11!
