Development Research PhD workshop
Date: October 23, 2024 - October 24, 2024
The Development Research school is hosting a workshop for PhD students in development research on 23-24 October 2024 at Lund University. “The purpose of this workshop is to bring together PhD students working on development research. The workshop aims to facilitate the dialogue and interaction between young scholars on relevant development research topics in general, and their own PhD work in particular. The workshop is primarily a platform for PhD students to present and discuss their own work. The program will allow time for both peer-to-peer discussions and feedback from senior scholars.”

More information on this process will be shared with accepted applicants closer to the workshop.
