October has been another exciting month for the Association as it took part in the 13th Open Days in Brussels, Belgium, and attracted over 700 participants to its RSA University Sessions and co-organised the 3rd Master Class session on EU Cohesion Policy.
We are also busy planning our second RSA North America conference, due to take place in Atlanta, Georgia, in June 2016 and getting ready for the launch of our new journal in 2016 – Area Development and Policy – aimed at those writing in and on Greater BRICs territories and emerging economies. We are also looking forward to receiving your MeRSA and FeRSA applications for the Expression of Interest round due to close on the 30th October!
