Geography encompasses knowledge, provides skills, and creates unique opportunities that help us understand and engage with the changes happening in the world. The consolidation of territorial dynamics rooted in the past, along with the "shrinking" of time and space due to technological innovations, brings new responsibilities to the research, training, and professional practice of geographers. This notion of "Compromised Geography," grappling with the rapid reconfiguration of the world at different scales-whether environmental, geopolitical, social, economic, or educational-was the focus of presentations at the 2024 EUROGEO Conference held at the University of Porto. This book compiles the highest-quality contributions from the conference, sharing methods, processes, and experiences that equip geographers to optimize their reserach and practices.
