Geographies of Change:
Emerging Perspectives from Young and Early Career Geographers
The Revue Roumaine de Géographie / Romanian Journal of Geography is the main scientific journal of the Institute of Geography, Romanian Academy, and one of the most significant publications under the aegis of the Romanian Academy. Established in 1957, the journal has evolved through various titles, becoming the Revue Roumaine de Géographie in 1990. Since 2009, it is published biannually, offering a platform for
quantitative and qualitative research across diverse environmental science topics, including geomorphology, climate change, land use, biodiversity, and urban development. The journal is indexed in international databases such as Scopus, Copernicus and DOAJ, and is accesible via www.rjgeo.ro, with exchanges with over 200 libraries globally.
In collaboration with the National Committee of Geography of Romania, led by Prof. Dan Bălteanu – Member of the Romanian Academy – from the Institute of Geography of the Romanian Academy, and the Young & Early Career Geographers Commission of IGU, we are pleased to announce an open call for contributions from young geographers.
