Dear Colleagues/Caríssimos Colegas,

The call for papers for EDULOG’s International Conference on “Economic development in Southern European Regions: Policies and higher education”, that will take place in Porto, on the 25th and 26th of May 2017, has been postponed to the 31st of January: http://conferencia2017.edulog.pt/.

As you already know, EDULOG will be hosting for the first time a Conference dedicated to the link between human capital, higher education (innovation) and regional development, focused on the four Southern European countries, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece.

You can find the overall description of the Conference in our website, where you can also register for the event:http://conferencia2017.edulog.pt/

More details will be regularly updated online.

Papers that investigate and/or analyse the following themes are welcome:

§The success or lack of success of policies implemented in the lagging regions of the four countries.

§Theory-based evaluations or quantitative counterfactual evaluations.

§Theories behind the success or failure of policy efforts in this type of regions.

§New policy perspectives or objectives, which should be implemented.

§The interrelation between national and European regional policies and how they can be coordinated and made more complementary.

§Prospective and policy components on the link between human capital, higher education (innovation) and regional development will be particularly welcome.

§Reports from on-going projects on Smart Specialisation Strategies.

I do apologise for any potential cross-posting, and do look forward to welcoming you in Porto.

Please do not hesitate to share this with your colleagues and partners and you can find two documents attached to this email, which can be freely used for the event communication purposes.
