Dear colleagues,

we would like to invite contributions to our session on Pitfalls and challenges of combining survey and georeferenced data at the 11th ESRA Conference from 14th July to 18th July 2025 in Utrecht.

This session aims to bring together researchers to discuss the methodological, ethical and practical complexities of integrating geo-referenced data into survey research.

We invite contributions that explore innovative methodological approaches to integrating and harmonising geo-referenced and survey data, the challenges posed by differences in the composition of spatial aggregates, methods for dealing with incomplete data and other data quality issues in this area.

If interested, please submit an abstract (max. 300 words) to our session via the ESRA conference management system by 6th January 2025.

Best regards,

Philip Adebahr-Maskow (Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany)
