Valued colleague, dear friend,

Abstract submission for the XLII Reunión de Estudios Regionales, organized by the Regional Science Spanish Association (AECR) is open. The Conference will take place at the Faculty of Economics and Business Studies at the University of Santiago de Compostela, from the 16th to the 18th of November, 2016.

The motto for the Conference is "Thirty years of European integration from the regional perspective: Past results and future challenges". Conference sessions will include also a wide range of topics, grouped in 14 subject areas and 7 special sessions. We are pleased to announce that Prof. Geoffrey J.D. Hewings (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) will join the Conference as Keynote Speaker.

Abstracts, with an extension of no more than 300 words, should be sent before May 13th, 2016, through the members' area. For the first time, this year you can submit the results from ongoing research even if there is not a complete paper available yet. The Scientific Committe will consider for acceptance the submission of long abstracts, with a minimum extension of 1,500 words. Templates for both types of abstracts, as well as further information for the Conference, are attached for your convenience.

Unpublished papers written by researchers of age not higher than 33 years and presented at the parallell sessions of the XLII Reunión de Estudios Regionales are eligible for the Juan Ramón Cuadrado Young Researchers' Prize. The jury that will grant the Prize is the Scientific Committee of the XLII Reunión de Estudios Regionales. The authors of the paper awarded with the Prize will receive an accreditation for the award and a gift.

PhD students in the first stages of their dissertations and Master students with a research orientation will enjoy reduced registration fees that will allow them access to the parallell sessions at the Conference, and also to participate in the Young Researcher Sessions. There, they will present briefly their research ideas, preferably through posters.

We are looking forward to your participation and we hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you at Santiago.

Greetings,

The Organizing Committee
