Exhibition "Social enterprises and social innovations in structurally weak rural regions" created The EU-funded RurAction project analyses the challenges in structurally weak rural regions and focuses on novel solutions addressing these challenges. The project aims at understanding the strategies and measures by means of which socially-innovative approaches have been adopted. One of the goals of RurAction is to learn how social innovations can be facilitated in the future. The project is particularly interested in how social enterprises have collaborated with other local and regional actors. The aim of the RurAction exhibition  is to present the preliminary results of the project that has been ongoing since 2017. It strives to raise awareness on the challenges faced by rural regions in Europe and the ways those regions deal with some of the challenges. Third, it builds upon the experiences of the researches and social entrepreneurs through the visual materials and narratives collected by the researchers themselves (look for Researcher´s Notebooks). The digital format was chosen in order to reach out to a broader audiences, including academic community, practitioners and wider public interested in the question discussed and regions presented. The exhibition not only aims at presenting the project but also at raising awareness of the innovative capacities of rural regions and of social enterprises operating there. Website

Ciclos de conversas sobre Economia Política Designing and Negotiating Industrial Policy: Prospects and Challenges for State-led Development in the 21st Century Jewellord Nem Singh | Institute of Political Science, Leiden University 26/11/20 | 18:00 Auditório B103 & Live Stream Short Bio Jewellord Nem Singh is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Political Science, Leiden University. He was previously a recipient of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Fellowship and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellowship. He has led several projects into completion, such as Developmental States beyond East Asia (2019), Demanding Justice in the Global South: Claiming Rights (2017), and Resource Governance and Developmental States in the Global South: Critical International Political Economy Perspectives (2013). His research focusses on the politics and governance of natural resources, state-led development, and coalitional politics in the context of industrial policy. Sobre o Ciclo Os ciclos de conversas sobre Economia Política decorrem entre Novembro de 2019 e Julho de 2020. Organizados pela Associação Portuguesa de Economia Política, pelo Doutoramento Interdisciplinar em Economia Política e pelo Departamento de Economia Política do ISCTE-IUL, estes ciclos vêm contribuir para um debate regular sobre temas da Economia Política. Estes ciclos subdividem-se em cinco grandes áreas: guia prático, pesquisas, obras, investigadores e filmes. O primeiro consiste em sessões sobre aspectos práticos relacionados com o processo de investigação, por exemplo sobre a preparação de uma candidatura a bolsas de doutoramento, sobre a escrita académica ou sobre a participação em conferências internacionais. O segundo visa apresentar um conjunto de pesquisas em curso na área da Economia Política, nomeadamente projectos de investigação financiados. O terceiro consiste num conjunto de debates sobre obras fundamentais da Economia Política. Este ciclo tira partido do facto de obras centrais da Economia Política terem sido recentemente traduzidas para português, sendo esse um dos critérios de selecção das obras em debate. O quarto ciclo consiste num conjunto de sessões com investigadores internacionais e nacionais que desenvolvem a sua investigação na área da Economia Política. Dessa forma, pretende-se criar em Portugal um fórum de debate regular com investigadores desta área. Finamente, o último ciclo consiste na exibição de filmes com relevância para a área da Economia Política, assim como de debates acerca dos filmes exibidos.
