Global growth agendas: regions, institutions and sustainability
The 2015 Regional Studies Association (RSA) Conference took place in Piacenza (Italy) from April 25-April 27, under the theme 'Global Growth Agendas: Regions, Institutions and Sustainability'. The conference was hosted by the 'Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore' gathering both academics and policymakers. In an intense 3-day programme, with plenary sessions focused on three main topics: well-being and quality of life, technological and social innovation, and food, agriculture and regional development. These topics were chosen in the framework of the 2015 EXPO organised in Milano to address the challenge of 'Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life'. Piacenza provided a concrete example to combine quality of life and economic development in a medium sized city with about 100,000 inhabitants. This conference confirmed the growing activities of the RSA, announcing the first Chinese conference and a new division for Latin America as well as new funding schemes. Furthermore, the RSA has also updated funding schemes, in order to further improve one of the most interesting 'assets' of the association.
