XLVII International Conference on Regional Science (Reunión de Estudios Regionales – RER), which will take place at the Universidad de Granada on October 19, 20 and 21, 2022.

Dear colleagues,

The abstract submission for the XLVII Meeting of Regional Science and the XIII Andalusian Conference of Regional Science, organized by the Spanish and Andalusian Associations of Regional Science, is open. The Conference will be held at the University of Granada from 19^th to 21^nd of October 2022, with the organizative support of the Interuniversity Research Institute for Regional Development (IDR) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commision.

The main topic of this XLVII edition is: “Challenges, policies and governance of the territories in the post-covid era”. We focus on the main territorial challenges we face after the pandemic and on the need for coordination among the actors that design and implement policies. The pandemic has revealed the existence of inequalities and of severe differences across territories. It has risen asymmetries in factor endowment and unemployment and has altered the whole industrial structure, especially in peripheral areas. It has fostered migration and urban concentration processes, too. In sum, the pandemic has brought new economic, social and environmental concerns.

As in previous editions, the submission of results of on-going research without a full paper will be welcomed. To be considered by the Scientific Committee these submissions should have a minimum length of 1,500 words. Here you can find the templates and more information on the Conference.

Unpublished papers written by researchers under 33 years or who defended their PhD thesis during the two years prior to the Conference are eligible for the Juan Ramón Cuadrado Young Researchers' Prize. The jury of that prize will be the Scientific Committee of the Conference. The authors of the paper awarded will receive an accreditation for the award and a gift.

PhD students in the first stages of their dissertations and master's degree students with a research orientation will have reduced registration fees to facilitate their access to the parallel sessions of the Conference and their participation in the special session for young researchers. There they will have the opportunity to briefly present their research ideas.

The Organizing Committee invites you to propose Special Sessions for the Conference. Proposals can be made from now until May 15th and they will be published once they are approved by the Scientific Committee and the Organizing Committee. To make a proposal It is necessary to send the title of the session and the name of the coordinator or coordinators as well as a brief description to the Secretariat of the Conference: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. It is recommended that a session has a minimum of four contributions. In the case of sessions with a high number of contributions, these will be scheduled in accordance with the coordinators criteria.

We are looking forward to having the opportunity to welcome you in Granada.

Greetings,

The Local Organizing Committee

Prof. Tomaz Dentinho, EiC, and the RSPP editorial team picked up two winners of the 2022 RSPP Best paper award. The two winning papers are as follows:

Eveline S. van Leeuwen, Solmaria Halleck Vega and Vera Hogenboom (2021) - Does population decline lead to a "populist voting mark-up"? A case study of the Netherlands. Regional Science Policy Practice 13(2), 279–301.

"The paper aims to analyze the impact of depopulation, the context and the party programs on election results in the Netherlands. It is a very interesting and robust paper with a promising impact on methodology, public participation, policymaking and regional development."

AND

Emerson Gomes Santos, Renato Garcia, Veneziano Araujo, Suelene Mascarini and Ariana Costa (2021) - Spatial and non-spatial proximity in university– industry collaboration: Mutual reinforcement and decreasing effects. Regional Science Policy Practice 13(4),1249–1261.

"The paper examines the role of the proximity between university and the industry to explain innovation in Brazil. It is a very interesting paper links cognitive proximity with innovation in a developing country."

Congratulations to the prize winners on their achievement!
