Spatial Aspects of Entrepreneurship, Social Capital, and Wellbeing

Aras na Laoi, Room G26
University College Cork
The British and Irish Section will host the 58th Annual Congress of the European Regional Science Association (ERSA) in August 2018 in University College Cork. This is the largest regional science conference in the world and will bring close to 900 regional scientists to Cork. A series of workshops on important themes for the conference will take place in advance of the deadline for abstract submissions.
 
The first of these will take place in UCC and brings together leading researchers in the regional science and spatial aspects of wellbeing to share and discuss their work.
 
The workshop is open to everyone to attend and we look forward to seeing you there. If you would like to know more about ERSA in Cork in 2018 you can check the ERSA website, the Congress website, and/or follow us on Twitter and Facebook for regular updates.
