The International Geographical Conference of Taiwan (IGCT) and the Geographical Society of the Republic of China will jointly host the annual meeting for 2025. The two bodies’ conferences have a long history in the field of geography in Taiwan. Both are important platforms for domestic and foreign geographers and scholars to gather together in Taiwan. The theme of this joint conference is based on the rapid changes in contemporary information technology and the increasing significance of humanistic awareness, which jointly make geographical environment knowledge production and problem solutions more flexible and complex, and make the tools and media of geographical environment knowledge production more important. For such rationale, the main focus of this conference is developed.

The 2025 Geography joint meeting will be hosted by the Department of Geography at National Taiwan Normal University, to provide a knowledge feast for geographers, experts, students, government agencies, social groups, and related practitioners to explore geography and share Taiwan geography research results. We work for the joint meeting to recruit and intensify transdisciplinary development of geography from awareness of human senses, sensing, and induction, so as to open up the sharing of diverse knowledge among geographers and related environmental researchers for a transdisciplinary future.

This joint meeting aims to produce knowledge and share and discuss results of geography and environment-related research by making good use of human senses and varied sensing and monitoring technologies. The sub-topics of the meeting are broad and diverse. Please feel free to contribute research papers and results to participate in this exciting event.

This joint meeting is now soliciting papers. We sincerely invite you to submit papers and to exchange ideas and research for nurturing the field of geographical environment and to further open up cutting-edge research. This geography joint meeting also welcomes research related to various scientific subfields and other humanities, society, nature and technology-related research results. The local organizing committee will do its best to facilitate transdisciplinary and collaborative dialogue for developing sensing-related geographical and related research. Scholars and experts are also welcome to submit self-organized workshops and forums.

The joint meeting will be held at National Taiwan Normal University on April 26-27, 2025. Paper contributors please complete online registration forms before September 20, 2024 (Friday).
