Steering Committee

The SweDev Steering Committee is responsible for the strategic development of the network, the SweDev work plan as well as reporting results to our financiers. The Steering Committee consists of representatives from a variety of Swedish development research environments. One seat is reserved to a member of the organising committee of the forthcoming DevRes conference, and one seat is reserved to a PhD student in development studies. The committee elects a Chair amongst its members.
