The 6th Global Conference on Economic Geography

---

Territorial Development: Evolution, Innovation, Disruption and Marginalisation under the Anthropocene and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. 

We are living through a period of profound change driven by a concatenation of technological change and innovation, globalisation, financialisation, climate disruption, and the global pandemic.

Economic Geography provides a unique lens through which to address questions of territorial development, evolution, innovation, connection, disruption, displacement, and marginalisation.  

This conference will address the changing nature of economic geographies from both theoretical and empirical perspectives from a variety of scales from the local to the trans-territorial and global. Papers from all areas of Economic Geography and cognate fields are welcome.
We look forward to seeing you in Dublin.
