The Economies of Regions Learning Network invites active engagement within the community as a part of our programme of inspiration, support and active leadership. We strongly encourage regional economic development practitioners and members of the Economies of Regions Learning Network to contribute.

We are looking for contributions which will stimulate strong community interest and discussion.

• Opinion Pieces should be around 500 words, stating a position and view on a key topic within our industry. The most important feature of any Opinion Piece is that it stimulates dialogue.
• ‘How to Guides’ are more practical pieces of not more than 750 words, sometimes supplemented with rich media (YouTube, Flickr, Screenr, Slideshare etc) to help readers achieve practical implementation.
• Academic papers or research studies on regional economic development.
• Share press releases, advertisements for economic development jobs, links, reports, papers or information relating to your work for inclusion in ERLN communications.

These contributions may be posted on the website and ERLN newsflash.

The Economies of Regions Learning Network is committed to profiling and celebrating the expertise and innovation in our learning community in South Africa by gathering and co-ordinating the sharing of information about regional economic development.
