This Workshop will take place from 29 April to 1 May 2007 (inclusive), and will be held in Tel-Aviv. The overall theme for this Workshop is Regional Science: Extending the Frontiers. The primary organisation will be undertaken by the Israeli Section of RSAI, coordinated by Danny Felsenstein and Amnon Frankel. The cost of accommodation will be covered, and assistance with travel expenses may be available, but only for a very limited number of participants. On the final day of the Workshop it is planned to have a tour of Northern Israel, but alternatives may be arranged, depending on the preferences of the participants.

Those who have attended previous Workshops in this series will recall the pleasant as well as productive aspect of such occasions (the Fourth Workshop, held in Edinburgh in 2003, gave rise to a Special Issue of the Annals of Regional Science, entitled “Linking Supply and Demand in Local Labour Markets”). Although intended primarily for members of the Israeli and the British & Irish Sections, members of other sections are welcome to attend, subject to availability of places. Anyone interested in presenting a paper, or participating in the Workshop in some other way, is asked to contact John Parr before 19th February.
