Between 2001 and 2005 the RRSA organised an international conference every year. After 2005 this conference is organised every two years, in parallel with the diversification of the association’s activities (round tables, workshops, seminars). The first three conferences were held in Bucharest, at the Academy of Economic Studies. Then, universities from other cities such as Galati (South-East Region), Timisoara (West Region), Alba Iulia (Centre Region), Baia Mare (North-West Region) have been also great organisers. All conferences have proved the scientific, institutional and geographical diversity of the association as well as an important interest of foreign participants.

Outstanding scholars of the international regional science community have warmly supported these conferences with presentations, papers and messages. Among them there are Peter Nijkamp (the Netherlands), Geoffrey Hewings and Charles Leven (U.S.A.), Roberta Capello (Italy), Manfred M. Fischer (Austria), Angelo Rossi (Switzerland), Takeo Ihara and Harunori Shishido (Japan), Jean-Marie Huriot and Lise Bourdeau-Lepage (France), Jan Kowalski, Iulia Traistaru, Peter Friedrich, Alina Popescu (Germany), Ewa Bojar (Poland), Gyula Horvath (Hungary).

The next international conference is scheduled for June 2011 and will be hosted by the Babes-Bolyai University at Cluj Napoca (North-West Region), followed by “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati (South-East Region) in 2013.

The members of the RRSA are also active participants in the ERSA congresses, their number substantially growing after Romania’s accession to the European Union. Participations in the world congresses of the RSAI, ERSA summer institutes, conferences organised by national sections can be mentioned as well.
