Pre-conference PhD Workshop

In addition to discussing the state-of-the-art in urban and regional research and methods, the workshop will focus on professional skills development in the field of urban and regional research, including scientific paper writing, communicating research findings, and publication strategies. Sessions will be taught by senior scholars in the field, and will be highly interactive.
