SERC Annual Conference 2016 – Call for papers
The Spatial Economics Research Centre (SERC) at the London School of Economics (LSE) will held its eighth annual Conference from 26-27 May 2016. The Spatial Economics Research Centre was launched in April 2008 to provide high quality independent research on why some regions, cities and communities prosper more than others. It mobilises international expertise and provides information for policy makers to enhance their capacity to diagnose and tackle existing spatial inequalities.
One significant part of its mission is to contribute to capacity-building in this field by working and networking with junior researchers. To pursue this aim, the Centre’s annual conference in May is held over two days, with the first half of the programme devoted to presentations based on current / recent PhD research, and the second to papers by SERC staff and affiliates, relating to the Centre’s own research. Topics should broadly reflect SERC’s research agenda which includes regional and urban economics, urbanisation in developing countries and spatial policy evaluation.
Financial support for authors of those papers selected for presentation (covering economy travel and budget hotel up to a maximum to be agreed case by case) will be provided by SERC.
Deadline for submissions: 7 March 2016. More information HERE.
