Dear Members,
Dear Colleagues,
This is a very busy period for us with our two next landmark events: our Annual Congress in Lyon and our Summer School in Katowice, which involve our French speaking and Polish Sections.
We are happy to report that things are doing very well for both of them, the respective Local Organising Committees are very enthusiastic about the submissions received and the proposed programs.
Regarding our Annual Congress in Lyon, a special e-news will shortly unveil more about this ERSA 2019 promising programme. Stay tuned in.
Together with RSA and AESOP, we are also currently working on the University Workshops’ Programme for the #EURegionsWeek 2019. At the heart of Europe, this unique platform gives a chance to academics to present their research and exchange with key EU representatives and policy decision-makers. We are very proud to give our contribution to this high-level International event.
We also want to insist on the opportunities to network and to learn for regional scientists worldwide and especially all over Europe. See below what’s on schedule by our cherished Sections or other organisations on this hot topic.
I conclude by recalling the International Women’s day (8 March), I would like to express my support and gratitude to women in regional science. Their valued contribution is undeniable. ERSA have made advancements to achieve a gender balance. Efforts need surely to be continued but our upcoming events show we are going on the right direction.
Yours,
André Torre
President of ERSA |
