Aims & Scope

Belgeo is the only national scientific journal of geography in Belgium. Beyond thematic or reflective articles, the journal aims to cover major geographical questions, European and global issues, as well as national problems. Belgeo also allows the dissemination of research results conducted by Belgian geographers, often at the junction of Anglo-Saxon and Latin approaches, and opens its pages to the latest developments in both human and physical geography.
