ARG sessions
The ORN Academic Research Group (ARG) helps researchers share their insights with each other and with those who work in more practice and policy fields. ARG meetings take place on a quarterly basis online and invite contributions on research topics related to outdoor recreation from those working in universities and colleges, research institutions, and sector organisations. Each session lasts for 1 hour and covers 3 topics maximum.
Call for contributions
Researchers are invited to volunteer 15/20-minute presentations and updates on research projects and areas of interest. Please submit these to Dr Elizabeth Annett at elizabeth@outdoorrecreation.org.uk using ‘ORN ARG proposal’ in the Subject field of the email. Presentations will be grouped thematically (as below) – we are particularly interested in ideas for the September and March sessions:
