NURTURING NEW TALENT 2019
The RSAI aims to continue promoting the development of Regional Science by nurturing new talent in 2018. The council has therefore pledged resources to co-finance workshops and summer institutes intended to provide substantive training to pre-doctoral researchers, including the presentation of their work and receiving feedback from senior scholars and their peers. It is expected that the selected workshops and institutes will have considerable international geographical coverage.
Organisers of workshops and summer schools fulfilling the above aims are invited to submit a two-page case for support by November 2nd 2018 the RSAI (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
All applications will be reviewed by the Committee and with the approval of the Council. Their decision will be final.
BUILDING BRIDGES IN REGIONAL SCIENCE
2019 conference participation support
The RSAI will facilitate the participation of researchers from low-income and lower-middle-income economies (as defined by the World Bank: http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups#Low_income) at the four largest Regional Science Conferences in 2019: LARSC, PRSCO, ERSA, and NARSC.
The RSAI will provide a subsidy up to USD 500 (or the equivalent in other currencies) to selected researchers. This is likely to cover the conference registration fee and some local travel costs. Alternative means of financing will have to be sought for international travel and accommodation.
Only one author of a submitted paper presentation proposal can apply for a subsidy.
Interested researchers should upload a two-page CV plus a one-page motivation –including a budget with proposed sources of funding of the conference-related registration, travel and accommodation costs – within 30 days of receiving confirmation of the acceptance of the researcher’s abstract by the conference organizers.
Applications can be uploaded using the following link until November 2nd 2018.
Applicants should have had a paper accepted for presentation at the conference.
All applications will be reviewed by the Committee and with the approval of the Council. Their decision will be final.
