Digital Development Dialogue (3D)

The GIGA co-organizes the Digital Development Dialogue (3D), a new format for policy and practice exchange, hosted by the University of Göttingen.

The Digital Development Dialogue (3D) seminar is a 45-minute online forum for policy and research exchange. Two speakers – one researcher and one practitioner – touch upon key topics in development policy with the goal of stimulating a meaningful dialogue across the theory & practice divide. We look forward to engaging with you in a dialogue!
