The IGU Kyoto Regional Conference 2013 will be held at the Kyoto International Conference Center from August 4th through 9th, 2013. More than 1,000 geographers and students from all over the world are expected to participate in the meeting initiated by the International Geographical Union. A conference on geographic research of such a scale has not been held in Japan since the 24th International Geographical Congress in Tokyo 33 years ago in 1980. This special issue was planned to, along with other objectives, raise awareness about the IGU Kyoto Regional Conference 2013, not only among researchers in the fields of geography and the geosciences, but also among students, governmental organizations, and employees of private companies from related fields, and promote exchanges among geographers from all over the world. Geographical research and education vary from country to country in terms of historical development, local research organizations, research contents, university education, and curriculum. Consequently, this special issue (Part 1) and the subsequent issue (Part 2) address trends, positioning, societal roles, and future of geography in individual countries. In Part 1, we focus on European countries, namely the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Poland, Slovakia, and Romania. Part 2 will cover the USA, Canada, Brazil, Korea, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa. Overall, we have tried to find a regional balance, and selected 25 countries and regions that are active in geographic research and education.
