The Madrid Association of Regional Science and the Spanish Association of Regional Science are pleased to invite you to join in the I International on-line Conference on Regional Science, which will take place on November 26 and 27, 2020. The XLVI Spanish Conference of Regional Science has been postponed until 2021 due to health reasons. We know that this annual conference is the main multidisciplinary meeting point for regional science in Spain and it shows international projection, mainly in Europe and Latin America.

 

For this reason, we launch this new initiative of an on-line conference in order to these important dates to continue being a scope of exchange of ideas and collaborations among those interested in urban, spatial and regional research and affairs in this very particular year.

 

Given the exceptional circumstances that we are experiencing, we have considered that the theme of the congress should be focused on current events, so we have decided to title it, “Cities and regions in times of COVID-19”. This meeting will have the partnership of the University of Alcalá and the Madrid City Council.

 

The Organizing Committee wants to invite you to actively join in both areas within the I International on-line Conference Regional Science: sessions that will be broadcast, and the communication of scientific and academic posters.

 

The on-line sessions will be on November 26 and 27, 2020 and we encourage you to come and enjoy our city at the congress that we hope celebrating next year.
