Research Lectures

The Heidelberg Research Lectures in Economic Geography offer an opportunity for researchers to share and discuss their current work, explicitely also encouraging young researchers to present their research projects. Focusing on the or­ga­ni­zat­ional and spatial perspectives of society and economy, the Lectures cover topics from organisations to networks to institutions and innovations.
