From October 23 to 25, Global Development Network (GDN) hosts its 19th Global Development Conference on “Knowledge for sustainable development: the Research-Policy Nexus”.

The two-and-a-half days event will bring together 400 participants, drawn from a diverse group of researchers, policymakers, representatives of international organizations, civil society, development practitioners and the private sector.

The conference will address four interrelated conference themes:

  • From research to sustainable development action: interdisciplinary research, knowledge sharing, evidence brokering
  • The global and shared challenges of sustainable development: migration, climate change, health, etc.
  • Next frontier challenges: Big Data, AI, digital transformation
  • Greater local ownership and sustainability: implications for research policies and funding

GRADE has a fruitful history of collaboration with GDN, network of which we are partners. In 2016, together with the Ministry of Education and the University of the Pacific, we co-organized the 17th Global Development Conference on “Education for Development”.

On Thursday 24, our Senior Researcher, Miguel Jaramillo, will be chairing the parallel session “From research to sustainable development action”.
