RSA on ilmselt dünaamilisimalt arenev regionaaluurijate organisatsioon maailmas, mis on oma liikmetele läbi Regional Studies jt. publikatsioonide, veebi ja arvukate konverentside-seminaride oluliseks erialaseks kohtumiskohaks. Eriti tõhusad on valdkondlikud väiksemad töögrupid, mis korraldavad RSA toetusel seminare, toimetavad kogumikke ja ajakirjade erinumbreid.
RSA töös osalemine on kindlasti kasulik ka regionaalvaldkonna praktikutele, kes leiavad sealt enda probleemide lahendamiseks kasulikke teadmisi ja vahetu konsultatsiooni võimalusi. RSA pöörab erilist tähelepanu noortele uurijatele, kes saavad osalussoodustusi ja keda aidatakse esimeste kirjutiste lihvimisel.
RSA is probably the most dynamically developing organization of regional researchers in the world, which provides its members with journals such as Regional Studies and others important journals, collaboration and networking opportunities and numerous conferences and seminars. Smaller sectoral working groups, which organize seminars, editions and special issues of magazines with the support of RSA, are particularly effective. Participation in the work of the RSA will certainly be useful for regional practitioners as well, who will find there useful knowledge and direct consultation opportunities to solve their problems. RSA pays special attention to young researchers who receive participation benefits and are helped to hone their first articles.
