Conference "Knowledge on the Move"
26 to 28 February 2008

13 november 2007

WOTRO Science for Global Development, Nuffic and the Institute of Social Studies (ISS) jointly organise the international conference "Knowledge on the Move: Research for development in a globalising world". This conference will shed light on the changing relationship between development cooperation and international research collaboration.
Research into development issues both in the North as well as the South requires more intensive cooperation between researchers, policy makers, professionals at development organisations and other interested parties. Representatives of all these groups will meet and discuss inspiring and innovative policy and practice examples of research for development.

Participation in the full conference (February 26-28) is by invitation only. Only the afternoon session on February 28 is open to a wider audience.
