Issue N° 5 October 2012

Dear Members,
Dear all,

In this issue, we would like first to  highlight  our recent Congress held in Bratislava, last August. Our particular thanks go to the Local Organising Committee for their fabulous work before and during the Congress.

We are also happy to inform you on  upcoming events from our sections as well as other events of interest for our sector. We take this opportunity to underline ERSA close collaboration with INRA in organising the workshop on  "Mapping smart specialisation: Do rural regions count?" to be held in Paris, next month.

Another important point relies to ERSA willingness to alert you on interesting research opportunities.  

Richard Kelly
ERSA Executive Director
