“The Summer Institute in Economic Geography is a truly unique meeting that considers economic-geographical research as, first and foremost, a social process. It integrates vigorous intellectual exchange between early career economic geographers with the development of social connections that can only be attained through living and interacting within a broader community. Personally, the identity of being part of this community is the most valuable takeaway from the 2012 meeting in Zurich, and this has led to close dialogue with two fellow participants on potential collaborations today.”
