The Regional Science Association International (RSAI)

Founded in 1954, the Regional Science Association International (RSAI) is an international community of scholars interested in the regional impacts of national or global processes of economic and social change. The work of RSAI draws on the expertise of many different disciplines and this multi-disciplinary approach helps to facilitate new theoretical insights for tackling regional prolems. In turn this provides an increasing opportunity for academics within the Association to engage more fully with planners and policy makers. Building on a strong foundation of quantitative methods, regional science is at the cutting edge of research into new model design for regional analysis and impact assessment.

The Ecuadorian Regional Science Network (RECiR) ​

The Ecuadorian Regional Science Network (RECiR) is an organization dedicated to the promotion and study of regional science in Ecuador. Founded in 2014 within the framework of the 13th Summer Institute of PRSCO, RECIR brings together a group of researchers and academic organizations, both national and international, to exchange knowledge and broaden the technical and academic debate on territorial heterogeneity and regional policy, promoting economic and social development. With the support of the Department of Economics of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja and the Executive Committee of RSAI, RECIR is registered in SENESCYT under the code RED-REG-20-0120.
