Jose-Luis Hervas-Oliver and Rafael Boix, on behalf of the 3rd (online)  Rethinking Clusters Workshop Organizing Committee.

Prof. Geoffrey Hewings, Emeritus Director of REAL, has been awarded the 2020 Founder’s medal!

The proposal, made by the committee Mark Partridge (President); Lily Kiminami (PRSCO); Andrés Rodrigues-Pose and Philip McCann (ERSA); and Dan McMillen (NARSC), was approved as suggested by the award rules by the previous winners of the same award. The RSAI Council thanks all members of both groups for their professional service and dedication.

This award comes as no surprise, given Geoffrey’s outstanding career in Regional Science.

Prof. Hewings was the founding Director of REAL and served in this position until August 2016. He obtained a B.A. from the University of Birmingham (UK) and an M.A. and a Ph.D. from the University of Washington (Seattle). Prior to coming to Illinois in 1974, he was on the faculty of the University of Kent at Canterbury (UK) and the University of Toronto (Canada).

He is also a recipient of the Fulbright and the Woodrow Wilson awards and, in 2003, he has also been nominated Fellow of the Regional Science Association International. He is also Fellow of the International Input-Output Association (since 2010) and the Western Regional Science Association (also since 2010). Geoffrey has also served as President of the North American Regional Science Council, the Regional Science Association International, the Western Regional Science Association and the International Input-Output Association.

The RSAI congratulates Geoffrey on this outstanding achievement!

Papers in Regional Science’s 2-year and 5-year Impact Factors each increased in 2019. Additionally, the journal’s rankings in Geography and Economics improved, and its rank in Regional & Urban Planning remained the same.

Dear colleagues

The Annual Congress of the Portuguese Association for Regional Development (http://www.apdr.pt/congresso/2020) will be face to face and online, in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French.

Because there are urgent topics that need to be analyzed scientifically, we would like to extend participation to all regional scientists in the world who can communicate in these languages.

To make this more feasible, we postponed the abstract submission deadline to 3 July and reduced the cost of participation for participants from low- and middle-income countries.

Papers can easily be submitted to the Portuguese Journal of Regional Studies and the Regional Science Policy and Practice, in addition to being part of a well-structured edition of the proceedings of the Congress.

You are very much welcome to submit an abstract and present your thoughts.

The LOC
