Regional Science Association Tripartite Workshop

British and Irish – Israeli – Netherlands Sections

Call for Papers

Smart Growth; Sustainable Growth; Inclusive Growth

Over the last two years Europe has faced the worst economic crisis since the 1930s while longer-term challenges - globalisation, pressure on resources, climate change, ageing – have intensified. Achieving sustainable and inclusive growth in the future will require new thinking and new policy approaches. The Europe 2020 strategy put forward by the EU Commission makes some suggestions. (see http://ec.europa.eu/eu2020/index_en.htm).

In this workshop we aim to focus on the three key themes of the Europe 2020 strategy – Growth, Environment and Inequality – and invite papers in any of these areas. Theoretical, empirical and policy focused contributions are welcome. Abstracts should be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots.
