The Regional Studies Association (RSA) seeks to support 3 Policy Expos:

1. Infrastructure in local and regional development
2. Austerity urbanism and inclusive growth
3. Sustainable energy

We seek proposals that, while ambitious in advancing the field, target policy-relevant questions and envisage avenues to influence policy and practice. The research should produce an article for our gold open access journal, Regional Studies, Regional Science and a short ‘policy facing’ book of no more than 30,000 words published by Routledge. The book will have a large distribution, as it will be sent in print copy to all RSA members and in e-book format to all those who subscribe to any of the journals of the RSA. Applicants are advised to read the application support document carefully and to comply with rules of the scheme such as the inclusion of a named early career researcher in the team.

Submission Deadline extended to Friday, 21st June 2019.
