Nurturing new talent.  2025 Call for events taking place in year 2026. Deadline October 7th 2025.

The RSAI aims to continue promoting the development of Regional Science by nurturing new talent. The RSAI council has therefore pledged resources to co-finance workshops and summer institutes intended to provide substantive training to pre-doctoral researchers, including the presentation of their work and receiving feedback from senior scholars and their peers. It is expected that the selected workshops and institutes will have considerable international geographical coverage.

Organizers of workshops and summer schools fulfilling the above aims are encouraged to submit a two-page case for support, using the included template before October 7, 2025 to the RSAI secretariat (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Local organizers are encouraged to consult with their national and supranational sections to allow better coordination among different initiatives.

All applications will be reviewed by the Committee and will have to be formally approved by the RSAI Council. Their decision will be final.

Extraordinarily, late applications can be considered for this program when  i) the event (workshop or summer institute) has not taken place yet, and ii) there are remaining funds from this program and call.
