Seminar: Forsknings-samarbejde gavner både Nord og Syd

Internationalisation of research is increasing and research for development needs to be approached from a global perspective. At the same time research partnerships and research cooperation for development happen in a much divided world.

* So what are the opportunities, challenges and benefits of North-South research partnerships from the perspective of the Global South?

Internationalisation of research is increasing and research for development needs to be approached from a global perspective. At the same time research partnerships and research cooperation for development happen in a much divided world.

* So what are the opportunities, challenges and benefits of North-South research partnerships from the perspective of the Global South?
* Is there anything to gain from a closer regional cooperation in networks and programmes?
* What does it take to bridge the traditional North/South divide?
* How do we best feed the research agenda into the policy agenda?

General Assembly 2011

On the background of many members’ appreciation of DDRN’s news services, North-South linkages and multi-stakeholder approach, efforts are being put into transforming the network to an association based on voluntary involvement when Danida funding expires by the end of June 2011.

Together with a report on the activities carried out in 2010-2011, this issue will be the central one at the 6th DDRN General Assembly. Decisions will be taken on:

Proposals emerging from the initiatives taken at the brainstorming meeting on May 12, 2011
* Amendment of Articles of Association
* Election of a new board
* It is important for the future of the network that many members contribute.

Time: June 15, 2011 – 13:45-16:00

Venue: Room 6.1.611 (Area 6, 1st floor, Staff room), Institute of Geography & Geology, University of Copenhagen

Registration deadline: June 14, 2011 at 10 a.m.
