Feedback

Lisbon, 25-28 August:

Another Promising

Regional Science Momentum!

Dear Colleagues,
The call is now closed and we are very much enthusiastic of the results.

Over 1000 authors for around 1200 submissions and 50 countries from across the globe represented .

In addition to the participation of authors from almost all EU countries, let's point the very good representation this year of Central/South America, with an unprecedented large response from Brasilian authors! Researchers from Russia, Turkey, Japan, China, South Korea as well as US and Canada will again come in good numbers. Not to mention, the great response of Portuguese authors.
With ERSA missions aiming at high-level scientificity as well as integration, we are happy to gather regional science experts of various disciplines, from Senior and well-recognised scholars to young researchers to network, exchange and move forward regional science capacity to respond to society.

Next step: 24th April for the notification of acceptance and the start of the registration.

In the meantime, let yourself be carried away by the Lisbon song "Fado", by Mariza a young artist performing in the best places around the world!

Tomaz Dentinho,

Chair of the 2015 Local Organising Committee

They say…

"The UEA is happy to have received again a large number of high-quality submissions from many top-level researchers and promising young scholars. We hope to be able to sustain the very high level achieved last year in St. Petersburg, and we are confident that this year ERSA Congress in Lisbon will again be a great success!"

Thomas J. Holmes, President of the UEA

At ERSA 2015 we will debate about 'New Data and Methods in Accessibility Analysis'. This topic has generated an enormous interest, and attracted a great number of participants (also from other Associations, like NECTAR). We are looking forward to discuss with you this relevant interdisciplinary issue!
