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!
