RSAI-BIS participation in the "Regions in Recovery: Building Sustainable Futures" Global E-Festival
We are pleased to announce the RSAI-BIS participation in the "Regions in Recovery: Building Sustainable Futures" Global E-Festival, which takes place over two weeks on 2-18 June 2021. We are organising a number of sessions at the festival, including two special sessions on automation and digitalisation, and sessions on a range of urban and regional topics, organised via an open call for abstracts.
To take part as presenter in one of our sessions, please submit an abstract via this link (https://www.regionalstudies.org/events/rinr2021) to one of the following sessions:
SS12. RSAI-BIS I - Digital Tools for the Recovery and the Resilience of Cities and Regions during and after a Crisis
SS48. RSAI-BIS II - The Role of Automation and Digitalization in Regional Economies
SS49. RSAI-BIS III - Urban and Regional Analysis, and Innovative Policy Design (open call for abstracts)
Detailed descriptions of the sessions are available here: https://www.regionalstudies.org/news/202-ssrinr.
If you have an idea for a themed session, and know of at least three presenters who would like to take part, please ask them to submit abstracts via the open call, and then drop us an e-mail to let us know, so we can schedule the papers together as one session. Participation in the festival is free for non-presenting participants, and costs £45 for presenting participants and £20 for concessions (PhD students, early career researchers, retired researchers, etc.).
We look forward to seeing you there!

UPDATE - 48th Annual Conference to be held at Stirling University and Stirling Court Hotel has been postponed until 2022
Due to the public health concerns related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease, we will sadly have to cancel this year’s annual RSAI-BIS conference. It was due to take place in Stirling, Scotland, on 7-9 July 2020. We have also, after much consideration, decided to hold the conference in the same location. Our 2022 annual conference will therefore take place in July 2022 in Stirling, Scotland. We can also reveal that the Spatial Economic Analysis lecture will be given by Daniel Arribas-Bel, Senior Lecturer in Geographic Data Science at the University of Liverpool. We will keep the website updated over the next few months as we re-open abstract and session submissions. We hope you are keeping well and safe in these difficult times.
