PhD students from all disciplines and programs are invited to the 1st SweDev PhD Conference to present ongoing research and network with other doctoral students and senior scholars in a cross-disciplinary environment. We welcome participants from all disciplines and PhD programs — in the social sciences, humanities, global health, natural sciences, etc.— working on development research, research for development, Agenda 2030 and beyond.
The conference consists of keynote speeches with leading development researchers, traditional paper sessions with discussants, as well as capacity-building sessions (see draft programme below).
