Dear all,
I hope this email finds you well. I am excited to share some information regarding the upcoming "7th CEnSE Urban and Regional Economics Workshop on: Social Interactions in Regions" taking place in Gothenburg, Sweden from October 25th to 27th, 2023.
This workshop will feature three distinguished keynote speakers, whose names are listed below. In addition to the keynote presentations, there will be individual paper sessions where each paper will be assigned a discussant. We kindly request all presenters and participants to also serve as discussants, fostering constructive discussions in an interactive setting. To ensure a focused and engaging environment, there will be no parallel sessions, leading to a limited number of participants. This approach allows for in-depth interactions among attendees.
The keynote speakers are:
- Professor Erik Stam https://scholar.google.se/citations?user=QxSjCzcAAAAJ&hl=sv&oi=ao
- Professor Jason Rentfrow https://scholar.google.se/citations?user=TZ9YLMoAAAAJ&hl=sv&oi=ao

The workshop will be held at the beautiful Hällsnäs Hotel and Conference venue, situated in a picturesque rural setting near Landvetter Airport, Gothenburg. You can find more information about the venue at their website: https://www.hallsnas.se/. Landvetter Airport is conveniently located and serves as Sweden's second-largest airport, providing easy access to various international connections. For more details on the airport and its services, you can visit their website: https://www.swedavia.se/landvetter.
We are pleased to inform you that attendance at the workshop is free of charge. The organizers will cover the costs of accommodation and meals for all participants. However, please note that travel expenses will need to be borne by the attendees themselves. Attached to this email, you will find the call for papers, which contains further information about the workshop. We kindly request you to share this call with your networks if you believe it would be appropriate.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you to the workshop this fall! Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

RSAI journals (Papers in Regional Science and Regional Science Policy & Practice)
Dear RSAI members,
it is with great pleasure that we deliver good news. As of Jan. 1, 2024 both RSAI journals (Papers in Regional Science and Regional Science Policy & Practice) will be published by Elsevier.
The last decade was marked by continuous growth in quality and volume for both journals. For this, the RSAI is grateful to the current publisher, Wiley, which thoroughly supported our journal editors in the strive for offering better journals to our members.
As we all see from our everyday experience, the publication landscape is changing rapidly, and is in particular showing a fast growth of open access journals. These are meant to increase the access to science to as many researchers as possible, also including those hailing from low-income countries. To meet the needs of the market, the RSAI Council decided to partner with one of the top scientific publishers, Elsevier, to enhance the transition to gold open access for both journals. Therefore, effective Jan. 1, 2024, all articles published by our two journals will be published in the new mode.
As we realize that the transition is uneven, and may have distributional effects for a number of professional categories the RSAI Council has agreed a substantial number of waivers for Article Publishing Charges (APCs) and is now developing guidelines for their distribution. These are in addition to waivers and discounts already granted through initiatives supported by the Publisher such as Research4Life.
We are most happy to let the community know of this further step in the process of growth of our journals, and we can already guarantee that our Editors will keep working hard for selecting sound and impactful research to our community.
Please do follow our journals, web site, and newsletter for being kept abreast of the further developments,
Kind regards,
In Memoriam: Richard James Arnott (1949-2023)

Call for Papers | RSPP Special Issue: Urban-rural linkages: policies, actions, and visions for coordinated territorial decisions, and conflicts resolution

Peri-urbanisation, increasing land use, migration, biodiversity loss and food insecurity pose new and critical challenges to urban-rural systems.
More and more people live, work, and depend on rural and urban ecosystems that transcend administrative boundaries. Increasing relocation of businesses and infrastructure investments in roads and communication systems are putting pressure on land conversion and natural resource consumption. Agriculture is also practised in urban and peri-urban areas. However, it does not ensure full food security for all citizens and leads to pollution and depletion of natural resources. Small food chains are more important, but their functioning requires reducing the distance between urban markets and rural agricultural areas.
All these flows are just a few examples of the interdependent flows of people, goods, financial and environmental services (defined by FAO as urban-rural linkages) that exist between certain urban, rural and peri-urban locations. These flows are interdependent, reflecting socio-spatial arrangements and creating spaces with distinct but interwoven and socially constructed identities. However, they also create productive, social and land tenure conflicts. Resolving them requires supported and coordinated action by local actors. Rather, territorial governance is under pressure, reflecting recent changes in spatial planning systems, levels of governance and multi-actor dynamics. The prerogatives of public interventions and private initiatives in peri-urban areas are not defined due to the unclear distribution of competences between local institutions.
The management of these flows and the resolution of potential conflicts appear as a prerequisite for sustainable territorial development. This importance is underlined by several international organisations. Among others, UN calls for new inclusive approaches and increased synergies between urban and rural communities and spaces - an essential part of the vision of the 2030 Agenda.
This special issue aims to renew the international debate on urban-rural linkages. In particular, it explores recent methods of delineating flows between urban and rural areas and the potential conflicts associated with them. It also promotes the dissemination of new evidence on coordinated policies and strategies to strengthen urban-rural linkages, implement integrated territorial development plans and resolve territorial conflicts. Empirical studies and case study analyses from around the world are welcome. Contributions that analyse territorial policies at the local level that relate to food policy, climate, biodiversity protection and ecosystem clustering (the list is not exhaustive) will be accepted. Studies that address the vision of sustainable urbanisation and peri-urbanisation are also welcome.
