Rozwój regionalny w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej

Konferencja odbyła się w dniach 20-22 września 2007 r. w Warszawie. Organizatorzy konferencji: EUROREG oraz Ministerstwo Rozwoju Regionalnego i Stowarzyszenie Regional Studies Association - Sekcja Polska.

Celem konferencji było przedyskutowanie głównych procesów i dylematów rozwoju regionalnego w nowych krajach członkowskich i odniesienie ich do obecnej i przyszłej polityki UE. Konferencja ta stała się okazją do skonfrontowania wyników badań nad procesami regionalnego rozwoju w krajach EŚW z złożeniami polityki regionalnej – co stało się także ważną inspiracją do refleksji nad efektami i założeniami polityk regionalnych prowadzonych na szczeblu regionalnym, krajowym i całej Unii Europejskiej. W konferencji uczestniczyło ponad 150 przedstawicieli świata nauki i praktyki z różnych państw europejskich oraz przedstawiciele Komisji Europejskiej.

W czasie konferencji odbyło się pięć sesji plenarnych oraz pięć powiązanych z nimi równoległych sesji. Wystąpienia i dyskusje koncentrowały się na pięciu głównych tematach:

  • Europa Środkowo-Wschodnia: tradycyjne peryferie czy nowy biegun rozwoju? Przewodniczący sekcji: G. Gorzelak
  • Wzrost regionalnych zróżnicowań: obiektywna konieczność czy niepowodzenie Polityki Spójności? Przewodniczący sekcji: H. J. Kujath
  • Metropolie w EŚW: nowi konkurenci, czy drugorzędne węzły w globalnej sieci metropolii? Przewodniczący sekcji: W. Strubelt
  • Nowe kraje członkowskie a Polityka Spójności: inspiracja dla zmian czy obrona status quo? Przewodniczący sekcji: G. Petrakos
