ERSA 2020 Web Conference An International gender-balanced event marking our valuable experience in keeping the regional science community together

 

Dear Members, Dear Colleagues,

 

We are extremely proud of the great success of our ERSA 2020 Web Conference.

 

It has proven the expertise of ERSA in organizing big scientific events in spite of difficult conditions, and also the possibility to reach gender balance goals for the speakers and the attendees.

 

We are grateful to our fantastic Speakers’ line up including our roundtable panelists but also to all our presenters for contributing to the very rich content agenda we delivered online between August 25 and 27. It revealed once again how much regional science research is multiple and valuable for providing society, and policy makers with new keys, innovative solutions to explore and implement.

 

Although we all missed the real onsite interaction and networking, this high-level Conference was highly beneficial for young scientific and senior researchers.

 

Now ERSA is ready for new challenges, with your help.

 

We wish you all a good reading and opportunities of this enews.

 

With best wishes

 

 

André Torre

ERSA President

Satisfaction Survey results

 

We are very happy to share the satisfaction survey which shows a very good result on our first web conference in terms of the programme and the technology logistic. We are also very proud to have organised a gender-balanced international web conference with almost 50/50 male and female participants.

 

We had 355 participants from Europe and beyond.

 

93.1 % of survey respondants are likely to recommend our future virtual conferences.

 

Scores for the degree of satisfaction include: (5 is the maximum)

The timetable of the programme: 4.09

Quality of the scientific content: 4.38

Quality of the keynote lectures : 4.20

Quality of the thematic Sessions: 3.98

Quality of the event platform: 4.32

 

Less than 50 % of attendees could network virtually during the event therefore the networking function will be improved.

 

We appreciate the feedback of our participants which will directly help us to improve our future programmes. We make notes of every single response that we receive, and your feedback really makes a difference.

«A great news! Wondering how much is it influenced by the form of the event and the possibility for women ‘not to travel’ away from their home based chores. Yet it’s good the change comes #ERSA2020 congrats! #genderbalance»
