28th APDR Congress
Green and inclusive transitions in Southern European regions: what can we do better?
16-17 September, 2021, University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD), placed in Vila Real, Portugal
The Portuguese Section of ERSA, APDR invites regional scientists, economists, economic geographers, urban planners, policy makers, and researchers of related disciplines to participate in the 28th APDR Congress that will be held from 16 to 17 of September, 2021, University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD), placed in Vila Real, in the Northeast of Portugal.
Beyond the various themes related to regional science, this congress will focus on how recent theoretical advances on place-based development, alongside empirical appraisal of policies addressing smart, sustainable, and inclusive regional development, can help regional scientists to inform the design of territorially-differentiated green transitions. What can scientists, politicians, and citizens do better in designing and implementing development agendas and policies, learning with available research and past policies?
