The Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto are delighted to host the 4th European Rural Geographies Conference, which will take place from 22 to 26 June 2026. The conference theme, Resilience, Innovation and Sustainability in a Changing World, reflects the pressing challenges and opportunities that rural areas across Europe and beyond are currently facing.
Rural areas are progressively influenced by intricate and interconnected processes such as demographic changes, socio-economic reorganisation, cultural evolution, technological advancement, and environmental transformation. These dynamics create both challenges and prospects for rural communities, their landscapes, and ways of life. Examining how to enhance resilience, promote innovation, and advance sustainability thus constitutes the core focus of this conference.
Main Thematic Axes
- Agri-food systems, Forestry, and Circular Economy
- Climate Transitions, Landscapes, and Environment
- Social Vulnerabilities and Opportunities underlying the Rural Transformations: Communities, Cultures and Identities
- Social and Spatial Inequalities in Rural Areas
- The Role of Creative Villages in the Sustainability of Rural Territories
- Impact of tourism, heritage, and creative economies on rural areas
- Governance and Planning in Rural Areas
- Rural–Urban Dynamics
- Changes in Rural Areas Facing the Complexity of New Challenges
- Digital Transition, Innovation, and Rural Infrastructures
- New Theory and Methods in the Research of Rural Areas
- Sustainable Development Goals and Synergies for Rural Areas
Important Dates
- Abstract submission deadline: 23 January 2026.
- Communication of abstract acceptance: 20 February 2026.
- Article submission deadline: 30 September 2026.
