Among the objectives of the IGU Urban Geography Commission is to motivate and capture the attention of young researchers:

a) Incorporating new topics that respond to their concerns and research interests.

b) Opening a space for them to present their theses, with a dual purpose: to receive guidance from senior professors/researchers to reorient methodological aspects; exchange experiences, knowledge and methodologies with other young researchers.

c) Publishing their contributions in articles and book chapters.

d) Rewarding the best research based on two categories: articles and theses.

An annual competition is held to reward the best papers submitted.
