Besides internal meetings, we will offer a two-day public workshop on geographies of wealth. On 15 December, we will celebrate the public launch of "Geographies of Wealth", our new platform for critical research on territorial power. Details to follow.

As part of the meeting in Mérida, the discussion forum “Geography of Wealth and Territory” took place at UNAM – Dragones Campus. The event provided a space for interdisciplinary exchange on the diverse ways in which wealth is produced, distributed, and experienced within Latin American territories. Particular emphasis was placed on the relevance of collaborative research perspectives and the need to advance toward the development of a Latin American Observatory of Geographies of Wealth. Participants included representatives from universities in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Germany, as well as members of organizations working in the fields of social and environmental justice. We thank CEPHCIS-UNAM for hosting and supporting the realization of this event.

The second annual meeting took place in Brasília in October 2024 and brought together the project’s full academic team, along with collaborating non-governmental organizations, to discuss preliminary findings on wealth–finance–space dynamics in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. The meeting was structured around thematic sessions and collaborative working groups designed to present research progress, compare analytical approaches, and examine similarities and differences across national contexts. It also served as a strategic planning forum to coordinate upcoming research phases, establish common criteria for data harmonization, and agree on a shared agenda for joint publications.
Kick-off Meeting in Karlsruhe, Germany, September 2023
The first annual meeting took place at KIT in Karlsruhe, Germany, in September 2023, where the entire team met to get to know each other and establish work processes. The team had the opportunity to get to know each other personally. In several rounds of introductions, the project goals and proposals were presented and discussed. In addition, the PhD students were able to present their PhD project ideas and receive feedback. In small groups, the work packages were defined and work plans were drafted.
