Foreword from the President
Dear Members, Dear Colleagues,
We hope you are staying healthy and safe.
For many associations like ERSA, these recent times have pushed to experience today’s virtual technologies and continue our work as best as possible. In this enews, you will find information about different virtual events launched by our sections.
ERSA first online event, the 33rd ERSA Summer School, is now drawing near, thanks to the efforts of the local organizers and the office. You will find information about the School below.
We are also making progress for the organisation of our August online event replacing ERSA2020 Congress.
The success of our Forum on Coronavirus shows well the importance for Regional Science, to contribute to a better understanding of the current situation and share research findings.
I am happy to share this enews including many opportunities for young and proven scholars. Good reading!
With best wishes. Stay safe.
André Torre
ERSA President |
