Spatial Economics in Indonesia 
End of January / early February Erik Verhoef, Gerard van der Meijden, Peter Mulder and Henri de Groot teached at the Universitas Indonesia in Jakarta a 2-weeks intensive course in transport, urban and environmental economics.

New Project: HERILAND
The Department of Spatial Economics is prominently involved in HERILAND, a new pan-European research and training network on cultural heritage in relation to Spatial Planning and Design. It is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 813883.
HERILAND is led by Gert-Jan Burgers (VU Humanities); Hadewijch van Delft is project manager; Niels van Manen training coordinator; Maurice de Kleijn data coordinator; and Ellen Woudstra communications officer. The department will also host one Early Stage Researcher/ PhD.
Through HERILAND, a consortium of 7 key academic and non-academic organizations – with 21 partners in civil society and business – aims to empower a new generation of academics, policy makers, practitioners, professionals, and entrepreneurs. The project’s research design positions heritage in the frame of five transformation processes, identifying as key challenges to the heritage management of the 21st century: The Spatial Turn, Democratisation, Digital Transformations, Shifting Demographies and Contested Identities, and Changing Environments. Using this framework, 15 Early Stage Researchers (PhDs) will be offered advanced training, combining theoretical and instrumental knowledge in a series of research seminars, living labs and secondments with public and private project partners. By doing this, HERILAND will establish a new pan-European, trans-national, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral research and training standard, which will be codified in a HERILAND Handbook for Heritage Planning and instrumentalised through an ongoing HERILAND College for Heritage Planning.
