Word from the President

 

Dear Members, Dear Colleagues,

 

Back from NARSC Conference in Pittsburgh, where I had the pleasure to meet colleagues and discuss further the evolution of the RSAI-ERSA Unique international Regional Science Network! Good steps forward are being made for future scientific developments.

One of the major strength of our European Association is certainly its sections and local events, which fulfill specific needs of their communities. This month, the Dutch and Spanish Sections successfully organised tailor-made events: RSAN Autumn Day (21 Nov) and AECR XLV International Conference on Regional Science (20-22 Nov).

At the ERSA level, the preparations for next year’s ERSA Congress in Bolzano are intensifying with the close collaboration of EURAC and AISRE to ensure another great Congress. Not to mention our 2020 Summer School in Sion (Switzerland), supporting early-career regional scientists with state-of-the-art lectures and enriching exchanges.

Please do contact us for further needs, or join ERSA, the largest network in Regional Science in the World.

 

Yours,

André Torre, President of ERSA
