The venerable Swiss geography journal Geographica Helvetica is being relaunched next year with a new editorial team – Francisco Klauser, Ola Söderström and Benedikt Korf. I’ve accepted an invitation to be part of the new editorial board. The plan is that the journal is available on paper and online in an open access format (using the Copernicus portal). It will be a multi-lingual journal – papers in French, German, English and Italian. There will be a conference on 19th October 2012 in Neuchâtel which will be a sort of informal launch (unfortunately I can’t attend due to teaching commitments). More details as they become available.
