Join us in Brussels from 7 to 10 October 2019 and attend the largest event dedicated to European Regions and Cities. Over six thousand people from all over Europe and beyond are expected to attend this amazing 4-day programme.
ERSA is proud to collaborate to the programme of the University Sessions, together with RSA and AESOP.
The University workshops focus on new research on regional and urban development. The aim is to foster an exchange of views, lessons learnt or new concepts in the field of regional and urban policies, between academics, practitioners, EU officials and other interested participants.
