Foreword from the President

 

Dear Members, Dear Colleagues,

 

This month, we are delighted to start with our new “ERSA Voices” Video Series gathering interviews of outstanding regional scientists in Europe and beyond. The two first ones are eminent scholars, Andrés Rodrígues-Pose and Eveline van Leeuwen. We invite you to watch the short videos and be inspired by our colleagues’ fantastic careers development, current research topics and their experience with ERSA network.

 

I am impressed with the huge amount of impactful research contributions of many of our colleagues. Our ERSA-RSAI network of regional scientists worldwide proves to be an essential partner for those who want to produce rich research results dealing with hot topics.

 

In this respect, ERSA upcoming agenda including the 60th ERSA Congress as well as ERSA Sections’ rich agendas offers many opportunities to learn, share and propose concrete smart, green and social solutions to make a better world for all!

 

Last but not least, last Thursday was the kick-off meeting of the European Week of Regions and Cities 2020 #Euregionsweek, ERSA is proud to collaborate in University Sessions Programme. Stay tuned to our website for more information to propose your Special Session ideas and get an impact at EU level.

 

Looking forward to exchanging with you!

 

André Torre,

ERSA President

For a sustainable #circularsociety we need optimal #spatial solutions, #urbanrural networks and more insights in the #behaviour of a wide range of stakeholders. Great challenges for Regional Scientists
