EADI-konferansen 2017 ved UiB
"Globalisation at the Crossroads: Rethinking Inequalities and Boundaries"
Hovedinnhold
The conference is a joint partnership between EADI (European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes), NFU (Norwegian Association of Development Research) and UiB Global at the the University of Bergen.
The EADI General Conference is organized every third year. It serves as the association’s public forum for academic exchange, reflection and debate on pressing global and developmental questions. In the Nordic context, a biennial Nordic Development conference is organized by one of the respective national development research associations, the most recent one held in Gothenburg in 2015. In 2017, EADI and NFU join forces together with the University of Bergen as the local host to invite scholars, policymakers and practitioners to a three-day conference to engage in new approaches to understand global challenges and reflect on paths forward.
Target Groups
The conference targets scholars, students, practitioners and policy-makers within the broad field of development research:
- Researchers and students
- Members of development agencies
- Representatives of governmental, non-governmental agencies
- Representatives of civil society organisations
Conference Format
The format will be interactive, with panel and working group sessions. Presentations and papers will be available online and in the conference documentation.
The EADI Dudley Seers Lecture will be held on Sunday evening (20 August) before the official opening of the conference (tba).
