We are a non-profit foundation established in Belgium
We share the same charitable aims and objectives as our Founder, the Regional Studies Association (RSA), to create and foster research, analysis and debate at a regional level. However, unlike the RSA which is a global association with an international membership, RSA Europe operates exclusively in a European context and has no membership base.
