Objective
The ERSA Summer School 2020 in collaboration with the Institute of Geography and Sustainability (University of Lausanne) aim to gather young researchers (PhD and post-doctoral students) with direct training in regional science.
The Summer School seeks to encourage close interactions and feedbacks among participants and top senior researchers as well as internationally recognized analysts.
Topic
This year ERSA Summer School's edition will feature: “Regions in transition, what implications for tourism and manufacturing?”. Sustainability transition is a new significant challenge for regional science with several issues, needs, opportunities but also threats for regions specialized in tourism or/and manufacturing. Production, innovation and consumption systems, labour markets, transport and mobility are just few examples of elements that are evolving face to this challenge. Therefore, the Summer School intends to focus on the most relevant concepts as well as analytical models and frameworks to be able to understand implications of transition for tourism and manufacturing.
Within this umbrella, The ERSA Summer School 2020 will particularly address the interaction between empirical, theoretical and policy analysis related to the following classic topics of regional science:
- Regional and urban development, labour markets, policy and governance;
- Regional competitiveness, innovation and productivity;
- Change in location of economic activity;
- Segregation, social, environmental and spatial inequalities;
- Transport, land use and accessibility;- Population, migration and mobility behaviour;
- Regional finance, fiscal issues, investment or capital markets.
Lectures
Lectures cover a large variety of issues regarding to recent advances in theory and applications in regional science especially in the particular umbrella theme of the School.
They will be structured into three categories:
The “ERSA Prize 2019 Lecture" will be given by Philip McCann.
The lecture will be followed in the evening by a Master class given in a relaxed atmosphere where he will talk about his research itinerary.

Sion, Capital of the Valais
Sion is a Swiss town, a municipality, and the capital of the canton of Valais and of the district of Sion. Sion nestled at the bottom of the castles of Valère and Tourbillon, is proud of its 7'000 years of history. In this surprising city, culture shows many facettes: the patrimonial evidence meets the most contemporary conception.
