The 8th Geomorphometry Conference was held on 9-13 June 2025 in Perugia (Italy). This event was hosted by the Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection of the Italian National Research Council (CNR IRPI) and the Department of Physics and Geology of the University of Perugia, and organised under the auspices of the International Society for Geomorphometry (ISG).
The IAG offered one Grant of 400€ to help one Young Geomorphologist to attend the conference. Congratulations to the Grant Holder!

During this event, the Grant Holder had the opportunity to “showcase [his] work to a large audience“, in the “openness and collaborative spirit” that characterised this conference. He also particularly highlights the conference field trip to Civita di Bagnoregio, which “offered first-hand insights into how landslides, seismic activity, and surface erosion” shape the landscapes in the area. Overall, the Grant Holder speaks about an extremely positive experience, and specifies that he is “already looking forward” to the Geomorphometry 2027 conference!

The IAG Urban Geomorphology Working Group organised its 1st Workshop at the University of the National Education Commission in Kraków (Poland) on 12-15 May 2025. The IAG offered two Grants of 300€ each to help two Young Geomorphologists to attend this event. Congratulations to the two Grant Holders!

The general theme of the event was “Geomorphology, geodiversity and geosites in urban areas“. Grant Holders participated in four intense days, filled with plenary sessions, oral scientific sessions, including one dedicated to Young Geomorphologists, poster sessions; but also a workshop intending to present GIS techniques to early-career researchers, a geomorphology trail around Kraków, and a field trip to the Upper Silesia Region!
Grant Holders report an “incredibly enriching” and “invaluable experience“. This event “deepened [their] scientific understanding” of urban geomorphology “from both theoretical and applied perspectives”. They also had the opportunity to present their work, for which they report receiving “positive feedback”, and exchanging ideas. Overall, both Grant Holders highlight that the IAG Grant facilitated their participation in this event!
