Joint research seminars of Laboratory for International and Regional Economics and Laboratory of Applied System Research were held within GSEM Spring Research Days.

The workshop was conducted during 8 hours: in addition to the reports of key speakers, young researchers made presentations about their studies and received a feedback from the other participants.

Keynote reports on ecological economics were presented by the heads of both Laboratories: prof. Hans Wiesmeth and prof. Sergey Kruglikov, as well as by a visiting academic — prof.

The academics told about awareness of climate change in Russian regions, the role of SMEs in disaster response supply chain in a city, economic valuation of ecosystem services.

Reports of young researchers and students of GSEM UrFU were not tied to a strict topic.
