ERSA e-News issue N° 7/2013
Grazie Palermo
842 participants from all over the world (more on the profile of participants)
I am delighted to report that our 53rd ERSA Congress was an outstanding success. I'm basing this impression not only on the positive feedback we received from participants in our satisfaction survey, but also on the energetic feel of the whole event. Once more, our landmark event was attended by many participants from outside Europe, confirming that is for sure a truly international gathering of the Regional Science Academic Community. Thanks to our Local Organising Committee of University of Palermo and more particularly to Fabio Mazzola Chair of the LOC for the smooth run of the Congress as well as for the Italian warm and friendly atmosphere! Last but not least, a big thank you to all of you who contributed in moving forward Regional Science
