The Congress

For our 62nd Annual Congress we are returning to Spain after the successful edition in 2011. ERSA2023 to be held in a lively culture city, Alicante from 28 August to 1 September 2023 with the same format as the previous congress in Pécs, which will enable participation in-person and online.

This year's edition will focus on “Urban Challenges and Sustainable Technological Revolution” with a comprehensive programme including a wide range of sessions by researchers and experts from all around the world.

The congress is aiming to feature the numerous urban challenges and innovation that will promote the sustainability on technological revolution in cities. It will bring together researchers from academia, the private and public sectors, also non-governmental organizations, in an effort to present and discuss prevalent urban and regional development issues and to share knowledge, viewpoints, methods and research outcomes.

With approximately 800 participants every year from all continents, the ERSA congress has become the largest academic conference in regional science worldwide. There is simply no better place to present your research results, get precious feedback and network as well as find out about new developments in the field, and also meet colleagues and friends.
