The Call for abstract

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”. 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Unpublished papers written by researchers under 33 years or who defended their PhD thesis during the two years prior to the Conference are eligible for the Juan Ramón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.
