PIRI REIS: Network, Collaboration and Development for Geographers

VET system for the education and training of geography academics lacks of basic competencies. This is reflected in the number of the quality of the work produced and citation rates in international indexes such as SSCI. One of the main reasons for this is the problem in the vocational educational training (VET) system in geography programs. Geographers trained without sufficient VET skills such as basic research method courses have difficulties in training their fellow students, producing quality publications and involving international collaboration. Also, professional geographers in their vocational educational training in the course of their career lack network opportunities and platforms. There is no institution to provide services organizing regular conferences, meetings and publishing academic journals. The Project, PIRI REIS, aims to 1) provide training for geography academics in the areas where they lack skills and knowledge. PIRI REIS will also organize workshops for developing a basic competencies for professional geographers. 2) It will establish a geographical association for networking among geographers. A journal will be formed to create a platform for the presentation of research and collaboration. It will be the first online geographical journal with free access of all parties interested.
