Between local ties and global challenges: understandingthe role of Nordic higher education in regional green transitions (HEREGREEN) [2023-2025]

The exploratory workshop series will focus on the innovative analysis of the understudied relationship between Nordic higher education institutions (HEIs) in peripheral regions, regional development and regional green transitions.

The project develops through three workshops (with some hybrid elements). The workshops constitute an integrated whole that will tackle three guiding questions:
- What roles are Nordic HEIs playing in regional green transitions (RGTs)?
- What are the opportunities and challenges that characterize Nordic HEIs’ roles in RGTs?
- What can Nordic HEIs do to harness such opportunities and overcome the challenges?

Place leadership in Europe research seminar series [2023 – 2025]

The 2023-2025 research seminar series organised by leading leadership and governance researchers in association with the Regional Studies Association will bring together a global community of scholars who are interested in developing original perspectives from across city and regional development studies, economic and human/social geography, political science, policy and public administration and cross-border studies.

In organising and delivering five research seminars through 2023-2025(Northumbria University, and Birmingham University United Kingdom; ESSCA Ecole de Management, France; University of Prague, Czech Republic; and Tampere University, Finland), we are seeking to refresh inter-disciplinary discussion and advance debate around our understandings and explanations of the drivers, dynamics and outcomes of transnational leadership and governance in city and regional development settings.

So - What is changing in the world of sub-national transnational cooperation and development? How is it changing, and why? What are the implications of the new and uncertain contexts and local circumstances for leadership and governance in these types of settings? What does all of this mean for the theory/ conceptualisation, enactment and development of leadership and governance at this scale in a two-tier Europe?
