The 17th GDN Annual Global Development Conference will be held in Lima, Peru on 17-18 March, 2016. It will focus on the topic of ‘Education for Development: Quality and Inclusion for Changing Global Human Capital Needs.’ The conference will be hosted by the Ministry of Education Peru and the Group for the Analysis of Development (GRADE). It will be held at Universidad del Pacifico. A detailed agenda will be made available shortly.
The world has declared, through the United Nations, that the 4th Sustainable Development Goal is to “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” The objective of the conference is to initiate the process of operationalizing this goal in terms of concrete objectives and policies through informed discussion, debate and collaboration between development stakeholders. Conference attendees will deliberate on policies and strategies in education and related areas that will ensure human capital needs can be met in the context of rapid global techno-economic changes. The four cornerstones, constituting the plenary sessions of the Conference, are: Skills for Tomorrow, Public Finance and Public Policy, Pedagogy, Technology and Institutions, and Research and Policy
The conference is organized around a competitive Call for Sessions. In addition, we will award outstanding research proposals and development projects. Young researchers are encouraged to respond to a Call for Posters. All these calls are now closed.
