[Andrés Rodríguez-Pose @rodriguez_pose]

The debate about the economic impact of decentralization has been misguided.
It should not be about whether more #decentralization is needed, but about whether the resources subnational #governments have suffice for the responsibilities they face.

#EUREGIODataStories present interactive tools to explore analysis from the #CohesionReport.
Below find a presentation of regional innovation gaps partly based on the EU innovation scoreboard #RIS and @EU_Eurostat data.

#CohesionPolicy has been at forefront of EU response supporting healthcare and providing substantial liquidity to businesses. It proved to be agile & effective in adapting rapidly to the crisis.

The regional impact of #Covid19 shows that 🇪🇺territories were hit unevenly.

The #CohesionReport (https://t.co/k2528WQ9bf) provides data to shape present and future policies.

Extremely honoured to have been awarded the 2020 Best Paper prize in @RegionalStudies.
Very grateful to the editors, for their trust in my research, and to my co-authors @DijkstraLewis & Hugo Poelman, without whom this award would have been impossible.

We will no longer compare 🏙️#cities as 🍎apples & 🍊oranges… but as different kinds of apples!
Our new harmonised city definitions will help to build smart, sustainable and inclusive cities.

On Friday, 11.00 we have a special session on the #geography of #discontent (S43-S2) with @mariaaabreu, @DijkstraLewis and @rodriguez_pose! Interested? Perhaps you (also) want to contribute to our #RSPP special issue on ‘regional voting patterns’! https://t.co/pGGekYhqMh

[Andrés Rodríguez-Pose @rodriguez_pose]

Increasingly our social and economic future depends on #cities, but, in order to truly understand and improve cities, we need to have far better and more homogeneous definitions and measurements of what cities are. @DijkstraLewis at #ersa2019Lyon

A thwarted no-deal by UK Parl. + anticipated elections perfect scenario for @BorisJohnson: he gets another chance to campaign as fact-free clown rather than irresponsible kamikaze. My column today in @nrc (in Dutch). Tnx @fotoole.

We had another message for the #TourdeFrance in Brussels yesterday, one for which we needed the cameraman in the heli. Alas, this one didn't make it past the censor 😅. #GrandDepartBxl #tourdeforce

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

Great graphics. US Democrats have gone from being a center-right to a center-left party; the GOP from a right-wing party to an extreme right-wing party, closer to Germany's neo-Nazis than to the global center. https://t.co/srI5taGFCS

[Simona Iammarino 🇪🇺 @IammarinoSimona]

Thanks to the Utrecht team and @morrisonXandrea for the titanic job of leading the bid, and to all other teams involved. @LSEGeography team @crescenzi_r @ndrlee @rodriguez_pose look forward to collaborating in this exciting project!

The rural-urban divide is not the only factor behind the anti-European #vote. Economic stagnation, especially in areas suffering from long industrial decline, is the main driver of #euroscepticism

Le clivage villes-campagnes n’est pas le seul critère du #vote anti-européen. Ce sont les territoires en déclin, notamment ceux qui ont subi un long déclin industriel qui se révèlent les plus #eurosceptiques
