For me, my colleagues and the University of DPalermo it is a great honour to be part of such an important event. When the final decision was taken, three years ago in Jonkoeping, we felt both the excitement and the responsibility to host such an important moment in the life of the European Regional Science Association. Since then, we have tried to carefully prepare for the event which is now ready to be celebrated. For the third time, the ERSA congress takes place in Italy and, after Rome in 1984 and Milan in 1997, it now reaches the south, landing in Palermo, the capital of Sicily and the fifth largest city in Italy. Beyond the attractiveness of the city and the region, which I hope you will enjoy, I believe the location of this year ERSA Congress has a special meaning. Italy, with its asymmetric regional development, has often been considered as a typical case-study in regional science, capturing the attention of international researchers and stimulating an extensive debate on regional development policies, such as investment in infrastructures, firm incentives, and institutional frameworks. In addition, given its location at the periphery of Europe and at the center of the Mediterranean, Sicily seems like the ideal location to discuss about regional integration, and to address the new regional, urban and spatial challenges emerged in the last few years. In a rapidly changing global environment, researchers and policy makers have been forced to tackle new interesting questions and puzzles and search for solutions which have to be, at the same time, forward-looking, sustainable and feasible, given the current financial constraints. Indeed, the spatial shift of the current world economy, as will be addressed by Prof. Danny Quah in the keynote opening lecture, is one of the main themes of the Congress. A second important theme is the increased role of culture for regional development in the age of knowledge accumulation. This second theme will be analysed in the other two keynote addresses of the Congress, by 3 Welcome to ERSA Palermo 2013 Welcome to ERSA Palermo 2013 Remi Jacob, President of the European Investment Bank Institute and by I would like to express my gratitude to the many who made all this Prof. Masahisa Fujita, who shaped my personal regional science scientific possible. In particular, the President of ERSA, Charlie Karlsson and the profile during the doctoral years spent at the University of Pennsylvania. ERSA administrative staff, namely Maristella Angotzi and Richard Kelly, who supported the Local Organising Committee and accompanied it Beyond the keynote addresses, the Congress will deal with other important in overcoming the difficulties along the way. I also must thank Andrés policy themes in three plenary sessions focusing on the relationship Rodriguez-Pose, vice-President of ERSA and future President of RSAI between nation-wide policies and regional growth, the importance International for the help in the organization of plenary sessions. The of regional and spatial issues in the Mediterranean and the role of Italian Regional Science section also strongly supported the Palermo infrastructure financing for regional development in the same area. The candidacy and organised a special plenary session to mark its thirty years Local Organising Committee made great effort to bring researchers and of existence. analysts from the most important international institutions to discuss such themes with the most prominent regional scientists from Europe and I must acknowledge the support of all the institutions and companies the rest of the world. which have financially assisted the preparation and the realisation of the Congress, particularly for their determination in assuring me of the quality The 53rd edition of the ERSA Congress will bring the international of the event despite their financial restrictions. community to discuss, develop and refine new ideas about regional development. I am sure that the almost 850 papers presented by more We also strongly benefited from the great support of our institution, than 900 participants from more than 50 countries will contribute the University of Palermo, and of its Rector, prof. Roberto Lagalla who considerably to the enhancement of our disciplines and will succeed in closely followed all the steps in the preparation of the event.

In addition, I would like to give credit to the sessions, 45 special sessions on different topics, often situated at the students of the Graduate Program in Economics and Financial Sciences frontier of the discipline. The Congress will also host the 3rd European who helped in contributing to the success of the initiative. Last but not Meeting of the Urban Economics Association and, from an institutional least, I must acknowledge the enthusiasm of my younger colleagues of the point of view, will improve the fruitful collaboration of ERSA with the Local Organization Committee, in particular of those who shared with me European Investment Bank as well as contribute to the development of coordination tasks, who assisted me in this adventure, always proud to regional science in the world, by favouring the constitution of new sections bring such an important event to Palermo. in the African continent. Welcome to the 53rd ERSA Congress. I hope you will enjoy Palermo and will I hope that you, Delegates and Guests, will enjoy the Social Events Program, come back for other fruitful scientific events in the future. centered on the Welcome Reception in the magnificent Palazzo Steri, the Rector’s Building of the University of Palermo, the Get-together event in the beautiful beach of Mondello and the Gala Dinner in the pleasant Villa Fabio Mazzola Malfitano in downtown Palermo.

The autumn 2008 was an interesting time in the history of ERSA. DCritical decisions had been taken that ERSA should become a professional scientific organization. In addition, I started my presidency on January 1, 2009, by committing myself to implement efficient professionalism for ERSA. Firstly, Louvain-la-Neuve at CORE/UCL was chosen as the headquarters of the ERSA office. A licence for a professional Congress software was taken and a Congress Manager hired. On a legal point of view, the convention signed with the local organising committees, was revised legally. Many efforts were also made to develop ERSA corporate communication. My years’ congresses include Lodz, Jönköping, Barcelona, Bratislava and this year Palermo, not to mention the preliminary work for next year’s congress in Saint Petersburg, and the kick-off planning for Lisbon Congress in 2015, due to take place in September. I am very satisfied of the evolution of the organisation of our landmarks events. Following the conservative financial management of them and due the large number of participants in Jönköping and Barcelona, I am now proud to tell you that compared to 2009, ERSA will be in a better financial situation when I leave as president by the end of this year. Congresses are the main ERSA events, but ERSA summer schools are also very important. Around 150 promising young regional scientists, mostly from Europe, participated the last five years. Moreover, we are proud of the good recognition of the high quality of the programme proposed to participants. One ambition during the last five years has been to increase the cooperation between ERSA and other organizations with an interest in regional and urban research and policies. Since several years, we have a very good cooperation with the European Investment Bank (EIB), which among other things, has been involved in several summer schools and finances the EIB- ERSA prize in regional science. Cooperation with the European Union and the OECD is progressing. We 7 My Presidency at ERSA from 2008 to 2013 have also tried to develop the ERSA congress to an umbrella for other related organizations including publishers to organize special sessions, events and exhibitions during the ERSA congresses.

  • Exhibitions at the Service of Parliaments: the Case of “Glossopolis”
    35th Annual Pre-Conference of Parliamentary Research and Library Service “Supporting Dialogue for Change” Hellenic Parliament (22/08/2019) Exhibitions at the service of Parliaments: The case of “Glossopolis” Dr Maria Kamilaki Head of the Parliamentary Library Department [email protected] 1. Introduction If I were to use a metaphor to describe what a library -or any cultural organization for that matter- looks like during the preparation of an exhibition, I think you agree with me that an apt metaphor would be that of a beehive, swarming with activity, until everything is put in place and the long-awaited day of the opening arrives. But what visitors see at the opening is merely the tip of the iceberg. During the “beehive period” that I’ve just described, there is a whole amount of research, documentation, selection and preservation/conservation of the holdings to be displayed, coupled with experimentation with new museological practices, in order to create updated and enriched content that casts a critical glance at the past and the present. Undoubtedly, exhibitions also provide an ideal framework for extroversion, openness, and transparency, fostering collaboration and networking with other public and private cultural bodies. Overall, they form a powerful tool of cultural innovation, promoting reflection upon one’s own collections and archives and sharing of our cultural heritage. 2. Exhibitions at the service of the Hellenic Parliament The Library of the Hellenic Parliament has a long-standing tradition of organizing exhibitions. As of 1994 the Parliament has been making a systematic effort to come closer to the citizens, and mostly the youth, by organizing exhibitions, addressing a wide audience ranging from elementary, junior and senior high school students, members of associations, senior citizen clubs etc., to official delegations visiting the Parliament House, which is the main venue of such events.

  • TOMASZ FRASZCZYK Greeklish – on the Influence of New
    TOMASZ FRASZCZYK Greeklish – on the Influence of New Communication Technologies and New Media on the Development of Contemporary Greek KEY WORDS Greeklish, Greece, language, writing, media ABSTRACT The growing importance of English in the Western cultural circle is also an issue in the countries of the Mediterranean Sea. Research in the region shows that with the increasing popularity of electronic communication, especially with the use of SMS, the development of new media and the market offensive of social media like Facebook and Twitter, Greek is influenced not only by English, but also by Latinization, a process which has been termed Greeklish. The article presents a short history of Greek, as an introduction to its current development in the context of Greeklish. Its characteristics and origins in Greek writing are illustrated with the most representative examples from press, television and internet sites, along with typologies. The research outcome of documenting different aspects of using Greeklish have been discussed, as well as the most important issues in discussions taking place in Greece on possible consequences of this phenomenon on the development of Greek. The growing importance of English in countries of the Western culture is a phenomenon, which has also influenced the region of the Mediterranean Sea, among it Greece and Cyprus. The Anglicisation of the Greek language, but also of Polish, takes place by including English words in common, everyday use (e.g. weekend, lunch), structural borrowings1 or giving proper names in English (e.g. “Sea Towers” in Gdynia or “Wiśniowy Business Park” in Warsaw), and is only a certain element of the transformation process of contemporary Greek.

  • ONE, TWO, MANY LATINS: an INVESTIGATION INTO the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN the PRONUNCIATION of LATIN and LATIN-ROMANCE DIGLOSSIA By
    ONE, TWO, MANY LATINS: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRONUNCIATION OF LATIN AND LATINROMANCE DIGLOSSIA by KEVIN RICHARD ROTH (Under the Direction of Jared Klein) ABSTRACT From the modern perspective the divide between Latin and the Romance Languages is so well established that one is tempted to regard such a development as inevitable. The terms “Vulgar Latin” and “Classical Latin” are so familiar that it is easy to imagine that the former changed over time into the Romance Languages while the latter remained the same. This scenario, however, does not take into account the ability of languages to be sufficiently elastic that the written form can retain archaic grammar and vocabulary while the spoken form advances. The preponderance of surviving evidence supports the view that Latin and forms of Romance were not consciously distinguished from one another until the Carolingian Renaissance c. AD 800. This eventual dichotomy seems to have been prompted, not by natural development, but rather by a reform in the pronunciation of Latin that was promoted at this time by the monk Alcuin. The new pronunciation eventually occasioned written forms of the Romance Languages.
