Congratulations to Peter Njekwa Ryberg and Giacomo Rosso, the winners of the 2023 Epainos Award!
The award has been presented to the winners on Friday 30 August, during the Closing Ceremony of the ERSA Congress in Terceira. This year, the Epainos Committee chaired by Frank G. van Oort, decided to reward a promising young regional scientists for the outstanding presentations:
Peter Njekwa Ryberg, Jönköping International Business School
Paper presented: “Manufacturing automation and its implication for local employment outcomes: Evidence from Sweden”
Giacomo Rosso, University Of Turin & Collegio Carlo Alberto
Paper presented: “Local Economy, Housing Prices and Neighborhood Change”
The Young Scientists Sessions are organized each year at the ERSA Congress, and provide a special platform for paper presentations by young scientists with an in-depth discussion of the papers by senior scholars in the field. The Young Scientists Sessions are organized according to the following two principles:
- Offering more time for each presentation, in particular to increase the amount of feedback a young scientist receives on her or his paper, and to provide more opportunity for other young scientists to participate in scientific discussions.
- Assigning specialist discussants, experts in the specific field, to each presented paper
