It is our plan to analyse and study these topics not only on the basis of the spatial systems in Poland but also those existing in other countries, in particular in the CEE countries.
With reference to the centenary of the Polish Geographical Society, we intend to introduce the topic of initiating and promoting research in geography of industry and services in the context of industrialization processes. Earlier, these processes were approached as the key stimulator of the socio-economic and cultural development, regional structure formation and the initiator of changes in these sectors of the economy in the conditions of transformation of the national economy.
Conference is organised as a part of the celebrations of the 100th Anniversary of the Polish Geographical Society – the Polish Geography Year 2018 under the National Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda in the Centenary of Independence.
