Next month, IDS researchers will attend the EADI ISS Conference 2021: Solidarity, Peace and Social Justice.
The event brings together world-class researchers and practitioners working on peace and justice to debate critical issues, share insights, exchange ideas and network.
Together we hope to strengthen development thinking and practice leading to policy improvements and generation of more effective interventions.
Our engagement in the event reflects our strategic priority to work with partners to expand international research and mutual learning networks for development. We want to help connect a network of researchers from IDS to those within and outside of Europe all of whom are committed to sharing, learning, and working together with governments, civil society, and the private sector in Europe. This is one objective of the IDS European Engagement Initiative, which aims to better understand and address fast emerging perspectives on universal development challenges, and to ensure the inclusion of diverse voices.
