You're Invited to OxGVC 2022

Susan Stover


We are writing to invite you to the Oxford Geoheritage Virtual Conference 2022. As an attendee of our 2020 meeting and/or the Promoting Geodiversity workshop, we hope you will also be interested to attend and submit an abstract to this year's OxGVC. The conference remains free to attend and submit an abstract to - all you need is an internet connection and an interest in geoheritage! Please do feel free to share news of this year's meeting with anyone you feel will be interested.

OxGVC 2022 will take place from June 6-9, with keynotes, talks, and flash talks being presented each day between 2pm and 5pm UK time (BST = UTC+1). This timing is aimed at maximising international attendance. For the first time there will also be an opportunity for poster presentations. OxGVC is all about geoheritage workers being able to meet online - the presentations will therefore be supplemented by an online space for attendees to meet, discuss, debate, and socialise.

This conference is open to all who are interested in geoheritage, including scientists, students, professionals, policy-makers, and managers. We welcome contributions from all fields of geoheritage including geoconservation, management, classification, geodiversity, legislation, geoparks, geotourism, geoheritage and cultural heritage, and interpretation. Geoheritage is an inherently interdisciplinary field: we also encourage those from affiliated fields who have something to contribute to attend and submit an abstract. We particularly encourage early career workers to submit their abstracts for consideration.

You can find further information on our website: www.oxgvc.co.uk

Registration is now open, and will close at 23:59 BST May 30th

Abstract Submission is now open, and will close at 23:59 BST April 1st

OxGVC has a Facebook Group where you can stay up to date with news on the meeting. Further information will follow regarding our online OxGVC meeting space, social events, and keynote speakers.

We very much look forward to seeing you online in June,

With all good wishes,

Your OxGVC Organising Committee:
