Hi Gert & organizers,
same question like Johannes: how about the fee, if I would have my "own" accomodation?
and is there maybe a preliminary participants list available  ?
 |
Well, like JUdith said, we will discuss this on Thursday...
The preliminary list is posted above by Claudya, so far only 2 people registered, but already 5 other people said they would join... so: don't
hesitate

In my application I offered a short presentation about EGEA Dinosaurs & Alumni. It came to my mind because EGEA and its Alumni network were invited to
join this seminar. I understood Gert in a way, that Eurogeo might be interested in any kind of cooperation with EGEA / EGEA Alumni.
Since this presentation would have nothing to do with the scientific topic of the seminar it is just an offer. If it would fit into the program.

good idea, but what about a presentation about Eurogeo too?!

I hope that Eurogeo will introduce itself, especially when a larger group that had no contact with Eurogeo before, attends this seminar. The question
is if such who-is-who presentations fit under the sustainability umbrella of the seminar or if they took place in another "environment". This should
be clarified by the organisers of both organisations.

Great Dirk!
Both is possible I assume. You can present EGEA as a topic, it does fit in the theme. What do you do to make a difference as geography alumni
organisation?
But it should also be possible to present ourself as organisation, -- who is who - seperate to the seminar to introduce you to the EUROGEO members. I
will get back on that.
And Jazzy, you can be sure that EUROGEO will introduce itself to you too.
I will forward the first subscriptions to EUROGEO probably soon already, so they already have an idea who is coming and they can have a look at the
abstracts already.

just sent my application and booked a flight to Prague (just hope to find a cheap flight back on a reasonable time as well ;-)).
See you soon!

Hi all,
We discussed the matter of having your own accomodation (and as a result get a reduction on the participation fee), and we now offer you the following
possibilities:
- € 95 package: youth hostel accomodation, breakfast (x2), lunch (x2), dinner (x2), seminar participation, field trip on Sunday,
transportation.
- € 63 package: same package as above, but you take care of accomodation and breakfast yourselve
- € 15
package: in case your budget is really limited, you can subscribe directly at EUROGEO to attend the seminar. If you choose for this option, you have
to subscribe directly at EUROGEO.
Drinks in the evening are for own costs. We would like to collect the participant fees in advance, payment details will follow.
Hope to see you all in Prague!

well,
some general question:
is the target group for participating in this event mainly geographers who actually had the luck to work as a geographer (be it @ university or @ a
private company) and therefore can contribute some scientific input, or is this open (and sensible) also for geographers who actually DONT work as
geographers?
generally i have the impression that latter (my case) are not really target group (which input can i write about working in a casino?) and so i really
got into thinking on what egea alumni at the end is all about..some elite networking group for young scientists who like to travel? some peergroup of
former egeans (like me) who simply dont wanna lose contact to each other?
i deliberately ask these provocative questions here, as i would like to get sencere answers to this as it really occupies my mind. because in fact, i
have the impression that other people who temporarily share the same fate just got lost in egea - they have no connecting factor to it anymore.
thoughtful greetings from the province of upper austria to all,
andreas

Hi Andreas,
Well, first of all, this conference is an Eurogeo conference, at which Egea Alumni, and regular Egeans get the opportunity to join this event: to
share their knowledge, to get into contact with other geographers, or just to gain knowledge, by attending the seminar. And this also answers your
question: no, you don't have to give a presentation, you can also just attent the seminar.

And if I may add something to that... We have got multiple targets with this meeting so also multiple target groups.
It is an EGEA reunion to meet again your EGEA friends, to stay in contact and even to meet new people.
If you look to the EGEA alumni group and their annual meetings you will find out that only a small percentage of them is into researching, some just
started their carreer in a geography or not geography related job and a quite large group, especially now with the economic crisis, is looking for the
right job and in the meanwhile having temporary jobs to keep their heads above water.
On Saturday we join a seminar to share and learn on sustainable geographies. Also when you are currently not working or researching in/on geography it
is possible to present something. It is also possible to just listen and join the discussion. I hope that, also if you are not working as a
geographer, you are still interested in geography. So you are our primary target group, hope you like to join!
But which is true, we also like to serve the junior researchers among us, to help them to get their articles published, give them a possiblity to
present, get them into contact with other people and organisations for jobs, post-doc or PhD positions. Not in an elite network, but to help them to
make their first steps in their academic carreer.

thank you sven and especially gert for your answers!
i just sometimes feel bad about not having managed to work in some study-related (longer lasting) position and/or project and just cannot afford
having no regular income- especially when it come scientific topics. but as you put it, i now see clearer the main target of this reunion and - if i
manage to take off - i will come

Hi Gerd,
Thank you for specifying who are the target groups of this event. You made it clear that it is (A.) a good opportunity for those who want to present
their own work to a scientific audience or just are interested about new inputs in the field of sustainable development in geography, but also it is
meant (B.) as a forum and reunion for regular EGEAns and Alumni.
Since I have not joined an EGEA (co-)organised event of such double character I am really looking forward to take part in it!
EDIT:
@Andreas: Last year you got to know some facets of my work, which is most of the time much more "practical" than "scientific" (although both can go
hand in hand quite well). So don't feel misplaced if you don't have anything to contribute which could impress a scientific oriented audience. I don't
have this ambitions either.

Some more information about the fieldtrip on Sunday:
Exploring urban changes in Prague: rush from industrial to post-industrial places
Since early 1990s post-socialist cities experience rapid changes in their internal spatial structure. Transformation processes from centrally planned
economy untouched by structural changes experienced in the West since 1970s towards post-industrial economy based on services are still changing
localities in Prague. From the city center which was the hot-spot of changes in 1990s, the processes are now more concentrated in selected inner-city
neighborhoods.
Today´s urban structure of Prague is a unique mixture of old and new features –placed next to each other seemingly without any logic or relations.
During the day we will see old industrial brownfields used now as low-cost markets, not far from high-profile urban regeneration projects which
shifted the area from city-wide center of heavy industry to one of national largest entertainment halls. High-class gated communities symbolizing
social differentiation and residential separation of new elites is placed just next to gardening areas established and supported under communist
regime.
We will explore urban changes in the middle of the way, which allows to see the old and the new places – and sometimes the empty gap in between.
