The
GDN’s annual conferences provide the
venue for an exciting exchange on issues of
sustainable development and
poverty reduction held each year in a
different region of the world.
By bringing together both
researchers and policymakers, we provide the first step in facilitating greater
exchanges between local policymakers and the local research we support.
GDN conferences are typically by invitation. Participants include Nobel Laureates and other internationally renowned researchers, researchers representing every region in the developing and transition world, heads of government, representatives of national and international organizations and sponsors of research.
