  • 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, organized by Sarah Langlotz and Lennart Kaplan, is a monthly 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.

    After a successful first edition, which was inspired by the challenges and opportunities for development cooperation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are looking forward to inspiring discussions among researchers, policymakers, and students.
