From June 11 to 14, the annual conference of the Regional Studies Association on the topic "Global Challenges, Regional Collaboration and the Role of Places" took place. The conference was jointly organized by the Department of Economics & Business Sciences and the Department of Architecture at the University of Florence.

From our research group, Susanna Bolz participated and presented a joint research project with Olga Masyutina titled "Resilience revisited". The paper undertakes a systematic literature review analysing the empirical findings on the resilience of regional systems in the context of decarbonization.

Many thanks to all participants for the interesting exchange, critical feedback, and helpful comments.
