Date / lieu : 29 mai-1er juin / GoaThe conference is open to regional scientists, practitioners and researchers in the field of regional science.  The Congress will include Keynote Lectures, Scientific Sessions, Poster Sessions, Workshops and Themed Sessions. Field trips will be organized in and around Goa.  The theme of the 12th RSAI World Congress is Spatial Systems: Social Integration, Regional Development and Sustainability. The theme has been chosen to focus upon the development needs of regions as spatial entities, which is the subject matter of spatial science.  We hope to provide an encouraging environment for researchers across the globe, to interact and learn from one another, and create a network that will be attractive and inspiring for young students and scholars. We hope to strengthen the community of regional scientists and achieve a better understanding of our future needs.Across the world, communities are striving to achieve an ecologically and socially secure future. The intricately linked ideas of sustainability and integration are the key to achieving our development goals. As regional scientists, our common pursuit of a sustainable future may be attained with more efficient understanding of the ‘region’ as a spatial unit. Keeping this objective in mind, the theme of the 2018 Congress highlights the importance of analyzing spatial systems as not just physical space or social space, but shared space. The sub-themes will be aimed at providing a platform for debates and discussions around the key issues of contemporary regional science and carve out the way to future research agenda.Pour en savoir plus...
