The Association of Professional Geographers of Catalonia (AGPC), 25 years supporting professionals of geography and territory

Abstract

2013 was the year of the 25th anniversary of the creation of the Association of Professional Geographers of Catalonia (AGPC). Several activities were planned during the autumn in order to celebrate the event. The first of them was a commemorative roundtable discussion about the 25th anniversary of the Association that took place the 17th October 2013. The roundtable focused on a brief review of the history of the institution and brought together several people with a prominent role in the AGPC. The aim of this article is to provide an accurate summary of the contents of the roundtable and record the different approaches of the participants about how the AGPC has evolved throughout the years and the professional practice of geography during this last quarter of century in Catalonia, with the aim of recording and putting in value the work done and projecting it into the future.
