The southern Hungarian city of Pécs hosts the European Regional Science Association (ERSA) congress ‘Disparities in a Digitalizing (Post-Covid) world – Networks, Entrepreneurship and Regional Development’ with a large variety of themes in entrepreneurship, social-economic, regional-urban economics, regional development, and regional policy topics like local governance and institutions.
The Congress has also the ambition to have a stronger interdisciplinary dimension featuring contributions and data from social sciences and entrepreneurship.
In addition to the plenary lectures, round-table discussions are also organized on cohesion policy, sustainable development, the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the role of networks at regional level.
One of the organizers, the University of Pécs (PTE), said in a statement that ERSA has organized a total of sixty such events so far, and three in Hungary; this is the first time that participants are meeting in a Hungarian rural town after the 1968, 1975 and 1985 events in the capital.
With approximately 800 participants every year from all continents, the ERSA says its congresses have become the largest academic conferences in regional science worldwide. There is simply no better place to present your research results, network and/or exchange, find out about new developments in the field, and just to meet colleagues and friends.
