Place and date: June 26-27, Tbilisi, Georgia

Concept note:

Under the auspices of its annual conference, CRRC is sponsoring a poster presentation session for advanced masters and doctoral students. Posters are simple but accessible way of presenting your research to a wider audience. They allow quick yet powerful dissemination opportunities for your research, and get you an immediate feedback from the participants. For our poster presentation session we seek contributions from emerging academics exploring the following broad themes:

• Conflicts, displacement, and reconciliation,
• Culture, values, and identity;
• Economic development, energy, and mobility;
• Politics, power, and democracy;
• Urban development and environmental issues;
• Civil society and activism.
