About the Conference

       The First International Conference on Economic Planning, Sustainable and Balanced Regional Development will be held in University of Kurdistan, Sanadaj, Iran. This Conference will be a joint effort of the University of Kurdistan and the Management and Planning Organization of Kurdistan.

        Developers and planners need to take into consideration the interaction between different regions and develop new methodologies to mitigate the effects of environmental problems and the non-sustainable use of available resources. With the rapid development of industry and information technology, researchers in all fields begin to discuss some new ideas connected with Economic Planning and Sustainable development.

         The challenge is also in avoiding negative social, economic and political dimensions of any new development involving the community. Only through considering all aspects of the problem can a long-term sustainable solution be assured. EPSBRD2017 will provide a valuable opportunity for researchers, scholars and some planners to exchange their ideas face to face together. The conference attracts participants in a diverse range of fields, including Economists, planners, environmentalists, engineers, policy makers and other stakeholders, to discuss the latest advances in the field.

We invite you to submit an abstract in the range of the following streams within the EPSBRD2017 program:

Economic Development and Regional Planning
