PREPARE, the "Priority European Programme in Advanced Regional Economics" offers an integrated structure of training, active participation, and discussion for PhD students and young researchers in regional science. The programme is funded by the European Union through its Marie Curie Actions and is held in close cooperation with the European Regional Science Association (ERSA). PREPARE continues and expands the well established ERSA summer institutes. The main activity of PREPARE is a series of four such summer institutes, each with a thematic focus and held in a different city. This ten-day event is held in Groningen, The Netherlands in 2006, in Bratislava, Slovak Republic in 2007, in Pecs, Hungary in 2008, and in Volos, Greece in 2009. Every summer institute includes the following elements:  advanced instructions on a current topic in regional science  presentation and discussion of the research of participants  issues of how to build a scientific career The events are held by leading experts in the respective fields.

Pécs session

http://www-sre.wu-wien.ac.at/ersa/prepare/summerschool2008.html The topic of the 3rd Prepare Summer Institute was Spatial Econometrics and Spatial Computable General Equilibrium Modelling. The goal of the Summer School was to provide PhD-students and young researchers with  advanced training in Spatial Econometrics and Spatial Computable General Equilibrium (SCGE) Modelling,  an opportunity to present and discuss their research,  skills and knowledge to advance their careers as researchers.

In a format of combined lectures and hands on training provided by top-level experts, we dealt with the following areas in the advanced training component:  Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis,  Fundamental Methods of Spatial Econometrics,  Selected Advanced Methods of Spatial Econometrics,  Introduction to CGE and SCGE modelling  Hands-on experience in building a SCGE model.

DIMETIC is the summer school of the DIME (Dynamic of Institutions and Markets in Europe) network of excellence. The aim of DIMETIC is to offer younger researchers a specific training in the new developments of the Dynamics of Institutions and Markets in Europe and to provide an opportunity for direct interaction between younger researchers and "seniors" known for their expertise in the field. There are three sessions each two weeks every year: Strasbourg (in March), Pécs (in July) and Maastricht (in October). Participants are expected to attend two sessions at least. Each session includes a series of seniors’ lectures, PhD presentations discussed by one PhD (junior) and one senior, and various forms of round table or summary meetings.

If you would like to know more about DIMETIC, please visit the official website of the initiative at the http://dimetic.dime-eu.org/.

Pécs sessions

The topic of the Pécs session was Regional and policy dimensions of innovation and growth. The first week focussed on Geography of innovation and growth: theory and empirics and the second week focussed on Policy for the knowledge economies.

Technological change is the single most important drive of long run economic growth. In the recent economics literature scientists’ interests turned heavily to the regional dimension of this process that is the extent to which spatial proximity and agglomeration of the actors in innovation contribute to the effectiveness of the system both in terms of technological development and per capita growth. The focus of the first week was on the current state of affairs of this field in theory, empirical research and methodology. Leading international experts provided overviews from the theoretical perspectives of the new economic geography and evolutionary geography and summarized empirical results in entrepreneurship research and the geography of innovation. Sessions on spatial econometrics and spatial computable general equilibrium modelling were also provided to introduce students to empirical research methodology.

The second week explored the growing role played by science, technology and innovation policies in modern economies, and to which extent their design, implementation and evaluation take into account the specificities of knowledge-based economies. Emphasize was given to the renewed importance of science policy and the role of universities, the role of policy towards financing high-tech start-ups, the evolution of European policies and the coherence with some other policies addressing social needs and industrial issues.
