ERSA Congress 2021 - Post-Event Review

1st ERSA Congress fully online: We did it!
 
Dear Members, Dear Colleagues,
 
We are proud of the success of our ERSA2021 Congres online edition!
 
We managed to make a great online event with an outstanding platform of regional scientists worldwide!
 
The Congress has highlighted once again how Regional Science research contributions are multiple: economic, social, environmental minded, policy, ... and adapted to respond to today's issues of our society.
 
Many thanks for your participation, as speakers or attendees, and see you soon during our future events, online and onsite!
