What is the Regions in Recovery Festival?
It is a research-led celebration of thinking about our regions and cities in a time of great crisis and change. The word Festival illustrates that the event takes place over several weeks, accommodating the work of many researchers and policymakers along with an optional social and well-being programme. The collective goal is to bring together an inclusive community to share research thoughts and to network.
The Festival will address themes related to the re-emergence of regions and cities from the pandemic. It includes longer-standing challenges to society of climate change, geopolitical manoeuvrings, the rise of populism, the financial implications of these shifts, migration crises, new challenges to the survival of pandemic struck firms and city centres and much more.
More details on the Festival and how to participate as a presenter or non-presenting participant, please see regionalstudies.org.
