We are proud to be collaborating in this huge international event and believe it is also a MUST for us to be there, to raise awareness on regional science research findings and the potential of our network, this in front of EU Officials and policy decision makers coming from every European Regions. Right after, we have our 3rd Academic lecture co-organised with DG Regio (24 October) with Jouke van Dijk featuring #humancapital and #regionaldevelopment.

Re XL Annual Scientific Conference Beyond the crises: Renewal, reconstruction and local development 16-18 September 2019, L’Aquila, Italy   AISRE was founded 40 years ago, in 1980. For this year’s AISRE Annual Conference, it was a reason to look back and exchange on the development of regional science in Italy. And of course a good time to celebrate and look forward! For this special edition, AISRE conference venue was L’Aquila which was destroyed by an earthquake 10 years ago . It was also another good reason to debate on “natural disasters, periurban areas, resilience”‘ with eminent scholars including Fabrizio Barca, Simona Iammarino, Andrés Rodríguez-Pose and Philip McCann.
