«Call for
Abstracts
It
is our
pleasure to
announce the
24th APDRCongress,
to be
held at
the University
of Beira
Interior,
Covilhã, Portugal,
from July
6 to July
7, 2017.
Theme
of the
Conference:
Intellectual Capital and Regional
Development: New landscapes and challenges for space planning
The
24th APDR
Congress has
the following
central theme:
Intellectual
Capital and
Regional Development:
New
landscapes
and challenges
for space
planning. After
23 years,
the
APDR’s
Annual Congress
returns
to the
University
of Beira
Interior,
for positioning
intellectual
capital and
regional
development as
a key
theme for
public policies
and the
agenda of
the collaborative
community of
politicians, entrepreneurs,
researchers and citizens
interested in
promoting endogenous
growth,
combined with
the institutions,
systems and
new functional
and integrative
type designs,
for promoting
symbiosis among
economic, social
and political
agents, in
the joint
task of
(re) designing
a new
competitive space,
at the
regional level. In
this context,
the central
theme chosen
is of
major importance,
since
it is
urgent
to expand
the ongoing
debate on
the importance
of identifying,
monitoring and
managing the
different
components of
regional-based
intellectual capital,
in order
to stimulate
a structural
change in
the scope
of in- novation
and development
regimes, funded
on endogenous
growth factors.
The
24th APDR
Congress aims
to address
different
questions, namely:
What are
the regional
development models
applicable in
peripheral and
low population
density economies?
How
can intellectual
capital promote
regional development?
Are
higher
education institutions
a vehicle
that pro-
motes quality
of life
and innovation
at the
level of
cities? Can
services contribute
to sustainable
regions?
How to
plan
regional space
from a
perspective
of entrepreneurial
and innovative
ecosystems? How
to finance
regional planning
and development?
What transport
networks
should
the trans-European regions
have? What
should be
the new
productive specializations
in the
regions? Can
sport be
a motor
for regional
development? The
Congress will
include a
Policy
Forum, Plenary
Sessions,
Special Sessions,
Conferences and
Round Tables,
Workshops and
Parallel
Sessions. The
Parallel Sessions
will
include: (i)
communications submitted
to Regular

by the
organization;
And
(ii)
communications submitted
to Special

proposed by

well as
