Dear colleagues,

Next October will take place the XLIX International Conference on Regional Science, which will be held from the 15th to the 17th of October 2025 at the Pamplona Campus of the University of Navarra at the School of Business and Economics.

For the XLIX edition, we have chosen the slogan: “Regional Economic Development (RED): In search of improving the Economic, Political and Social Welfare of each Region,” which reflects the importance of addressing, in a comprehensive and participatory manner, the political, social, and economic problems that affect the regions in a context of enhancing economic growth and prosperity of different areas within a country.

Here you can find the program:

We look forward to seeing you soon in Pamplona.

Best regards,
