#ERSA2026

Call for Special Session Proposals

is OPEN!

ERSA Congress is the leading international congress focused on regional science.

ERSA2026 Congress will take place in-person in Sofia, Bulgaria from 25 to 28 August 2026.

The umbrella theme “Global Challenges and Regional Responses in a Transition Era” invites reflection on how regions adapt to the profound economic, social, environmental, technological and geopolitical transformations of our time.

In a world defined by transition and uncertainty, Regional Science provides the analytical and policy frameworks needed to understand these dynamics and foster resilience, innovation and cohesion across territories.

We look forward to receiving your proposals!

Kosyo Stoychev

Chair of the Local Organising Committee
