The objective of Development Economics Research Connect (DEV-Connect) is to establish an inclusive platform for the international research community. It aims to connect researchers and institutions worldwide, fostering equitable collaborations on topics related to development economics. To achieve these goals, DEV-Connect organises regular research webinars, where researchers, especially those from low-income countries, can present their research to an audience of scholars and practitioners across multiple institutions/countries. In addition, DEV-Connect will aim at facilitating inclusive intensive courses (e.g., thematic summer schools), visiting periods for junior and senior researchers, and co-supervision of PhD students in collaboration with the network's global partners.
