PEP annual conferences and general meetings

The PEP Annual Conferences gather hundreds of participants – including development researchers and practitioners, eminent scholars, representatives of various donor/international organizations and policy makers/stakeholders – from around the world to discuss a variety of issues related to development policy research.

In line with PEP's core mission, these events present a unique opportunity for global networking, international peer-reviewing and capacity building, especially for developing country researchers.
