Foreword from the President
Dear Members, Dear Colleagues,
We are definitely living difficult and unprecedented times. Considering the situation, I am glad to see the strong reaction of our regional science community. Ongoing researches, call for papers or surveys but also specific forums or blogs are linked with the impacts of the pandemic. The willingness to exchange, share and learn, is very strong. For sure, Regional Science can bring new insights to this crisis, and deliver precious information in the way society can better apprehend the situation, which is likely to reoccur in the future. On our side, we have launched a “Forum on multiple impacts on Coronavirus” which encounters a big success, with devoted contributions and surveys.
Unfortunately our ERSA 60th Annual Congress is postponed to next year in Bolzano. We are working hard to propose a Virtual Event during the last week of August 2020. We will keep you informed of our future propositions.
Thanks to the local organisers, we will organise our 33rd ERSA Summer School, which was due to take place in June in Sion (Switzerland), as a virtual event.
Many other events are postponed or cancelled through our European community. Still there are many other opportunities: See in this newsletter, the ongoing calls for papers, calls for applications for young scientists or vacancies not to mention upcoming events.
Let me conclude by telling you, that now more than ever, we must continue to share and join our efforts.
Remain strong and safe. Take care.
André Torre
ERSA President |
