At the same time, many degrees in inter- and transdisciplinary subjects are now extremely popular with students, such as environmental or sustainability studies, and bear direct relation to topics and methodological approaches dear to the development community. On top comes the challenge of online-teaching in times of  Covid. Our latest blog post reflects on the outcomes of our recent workshop for coordinators of Development Studies programmes.

New Project: 15 Early Stage Researchers Positions!
EADI is proud partner in the new European Joint Doctorate (EJD) ADAPTED project Eradicating Poverty – Pathways Towards Achieving the SDGs. The project’s overall goal is to deliver high-level training with intersectoral relevance in validating pathways towards poverty eradication, analysing interactions between poverty reduction and other policy areas and optimising the impact of poverty reduction policies. It is run by a consortium of European Universities, important internationally active European development organisations and think tanks and six African partner universities. EADI’s role is to provide early-stage researchers with advice and training on the dissemination of research output and acts as a global dissemination platform for these researchers.
