UNU-WIDER shares findings at EADI/CEsA Conference in Lisbon

UNU-WIDER will be in Lisbon 10-13 July to share major findings in development economics research from its 2019-23 work programme on Transforming states, economies, and societies. The presentations take place at the Towards New Rythms of Development conference organized by the European Association for Development and the Center for African and Development Studies and hosted by the Lisbon School of Economics and Management. 

UNU-WIDER organizes three presentations at the conference. The first is a panel discussion on a major forthcoming report which synthesizes the key findings and policy messages of the 2019-23 work programme,  the second is a roundtable on reducing inequality, and the third is a roundtable on the aspiration for decent work for informal-sector workers in Global South countries.

In addition to the presentations UNU-WIDER will be introducing the related publications and the newly published WIID Explorer at an exhibition booth in the conference.
