For the second year in a row, the Regional Institute has earned national recognition for its work from the Association for University Business and Economic Research (AUBER). The promotional portfolio for the institute's 10th Anniversary Symposium on Change (held in October 2007) earned the AUBER 2008 award for "Newsletters, Brochures, Other Promotional Materials." Recognized both for its graphic design and content, the portfolio includes the event Briefing Book ("The Difference a Decade Makes"), invitation and program. The institute also received the AUBER 2007 awards for "Best Web Site" and, for its Policy Brief series, "Best Abstracts and Other Data Publications."
