The Regional Studies Association Team is pleased to invite you to RSA Global, a new online webinar series free and open to all.
RSA Global will run between 02.11. – 16.11.2020 and will virtually travel the globe by presenting territory specific stops en route in which the Regional Studies Association’s (RSA) international networks showcase research and developments in regional studies, science and policy.
The event has been developed together with partners in our different territories and we thank them for being actively involved in the organisation of this webinar series.
The aim of the event is to bring together the Regional Studies communities from around the globe to support the community with knowledge exchange and capacity building sessions in times when we cannot travel and meet in person.
