The Congress entitled: “Approaching to a more social and sustainable economic model” intends to be a meeting point for economists, geographers, urban planners, econometricians, scientists, academics, regional and local public managers and specialists, in general, in planning the territory, sustainable economy, productive sectors and social economy in order to discuss the important challenges in the field of regional science. 

Javier Barbero of the REMO team is organising the special session named "Regional institutions and quality of government in European regions"  calling for papers that address issues related to regional institutions, institutional quality, and quality of government in European regions.

Tthe quality of institutions differs across regions and this may have a strong impact on their economic and social performance. This session aims to gather papers on the effect of regional institutions on economic growth, economic development, trade, resilience, taxation, and other economic and social phenomena.
