ERSA 2009 - CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
TERRITORIAL COHESION OF EUROPE AND INTEGRATIVE PLANNING
25th - 29th August 2009 - Lodz, Poland
|
The 49th Congress of the European Regional Science Association is
drawing near!
We invite all regional scientists to submit abstracts before the 16th January 09 and
to participate in this event which will take place in the heart of
Poland - in Lodz.
We hope to match the high quality of previous ERSA Congresses and
provide participants with an excellent venue for sharing ideas and
networking.
The central theme of the Congress is "Territorial cohesion of Europe
and integrative planning". It is our ambition to relate the issues
discussed during the Congress to the overriding objective of the
European regional policy - cohesion in social, economic and territorial
dimensions. Discussions will also be centred around the integrative
approach to regional development of Europe.
Two prominent keynote speakers have already confirmed
their attendance. We are proud to announce that keynote lectures will
be given by Prof. Andreas Faludi and Prof. Gilles Duranton.
We sincerely hope to meet many of you in Lodz and apology for any cross posting,
On behalf of the Local Organising Committee,
Prof. Tadeusz Markowski President, Polish Section of ERSA
