Regional Sustainable Economic Development around the Globe
2025-06-06 00:00 - 2025-06-07 23:59
Monmouth University and the McMullen Family invite submissions for the first annual workshop on “Regional Sustainable Economic Development around the Globe”, on June 6–7, 2025. The workshop is co-organized by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission, the Institute of Global Business and Society at TH Köln, and CED (Center for Economic Development & Social Change).
Climate change, and the responses in both the public and private sector have led to an increasing presence of sustainability in all parts of the economy. Much attention is given to the analysis on the global and national level, while also at the regional level these challenges need to be addressed. According to the OECD (2023), “quality regional development policy is essential for inclusive economic outcomes, well-being, environmental sustainability, and resilience. Regions, cities and rural areas play a crucial role in responding to megatrends including climate change, digitalization, demographic shifts, and globalization.” The workshop aims to bring together academics, policymakers and industry representatives to discuss these challenges and to learn from each other.
