Title: Smart development for rural areas?     
Code:15UNIV02

Thursday 15th at 09:00 – 10:45

This workshop raises questions about the future of European rural areas, in the light of the new H2020 policy. The EU growth strategy for 2020 builds on the ambition to become "a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy". Does this new orientation of smart specialization apply to rural areas, which currently make up the majority of the EU's land surface and involve millions of people? Or is it reserved for the cities and their suburbs which are the world's most urbanized area, with an expected growth of the urban population?

 

Speakers

Mr. Michael Steiner

Mr. André Torre 

Mr. Hans Westlund

Chair

Mr. Jose Enrique Garcilazo

Venue: European Commission, Charlemagne, Room Alcide de Gasperi

Title: Energy issues in regional and urban development
Code: 15UNIV04 

Thursday 15th at 11:15 – 13:00

A joint workshop with ERSA & AESOP which addresses the challenges and opportunities faced by cities and regions with regard to energy and climate change issues. Energy efficiency objectives and risk mitigation strategies affect many aspects of everyday life and economic activity(planning, transport, agriculture, housing, production, etc.). This workshop aims to promote understanding of how energy issues challenge existing regional, urban and development models. It also questions the way these issues may help to reduce costs and promote more geographically-balanced development.

Speakers
Dr. Cheryl Deboer   

Prof. Youssef Diab   

Prof. Stephan Greiving

Chair 

Mr. Yann Françoise

Venue: European Commission, Charlemagne, Room Alcide de Gasperi

Book Series
Advances in Spatial Science

Call for book proposals

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the book series Advances in Spatial Science, we would like to invite scholars in the fields of regional and spatial science to submit book proposals for consideration in the series.

 

This series contains scientific studies focusing on spatial phenomena, utilising theoretical frameworks, analytical methods, and empirical procedures specifically designed for spatial analysis. Advances in Spatial Science brings together innovative spatial research utilising concepts, perspectives, and methods relevant to both basic science and policy making. The aim is to present advances in spatial science to an informed readership in universities, research organisations, and policy-making institutions throughout the world.

Over the last two decades, the series has published a steady flow of four books per year contributed by some of the best known and most influential regional scientists from around the world. In 2015 alone, the books in this series have had more than 70.000 digital downloads on Springerlink.com. It has become a lighthouse of thought and the most comprehensive collection of published books in the field.

The book series publishes monographs and contributed volumes of theoretical and applied research in Regional and Spatial Science, as well as edited handbooks covering fundamental research. The series encourages new volumes on innovative theories and methods in Regional Science, and also edited books from specially organized research seminars and workshops.

If you want to submit a book proposal please contact: Hans Westlund (
