(Online Mode for International Participants Only)

Author Guidelines for Abstract Submission: International Participant Online Mode

To accommodate our global audience, the 2nd International Seminar on Innovative Approaches in Geographical Research (IAGR): Exploring New Dimensions for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is pleased to offer an Online Mode exclusively for international participants who are unable to attend in person.

While we strongly encourage international scholars, researchers, and professionals to join us in person to fully engage with the seminar's rich content and networking opportunities, we understand that travel may not be feasible for everyone. To ensure that our global colleagues can still actively participate, the online mode provides a comprehensive experience, including access to live-streamed sessions, interactive Q&A segments, and digital networking opportunities.

This option allows you to immerse yourself in the seminar's discussions, share your research, and collaborate with peers from around the world, all while contributing to the collective effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. By offering this online mode, we aim to facilitate meaningful global collaboration, ensuring that geographical research and innovation can be advanced regardless of geographic boundaries.

We look forward to your participation and valuable contributions to the seminar, whether in person or online.
