Homecoming 2024
After the great success of the first Homecoming, the second Homecoming will be hosted on September 27 and 28. This event brings together former and current academics, practitioners, and students from the Göttingen School of Development Economics to foster our community, exchange experiences and insights, and return once more to lovely Göttingen.We are looking forward to two days full of interesting discussion panels, presentations, and social activities. Moreover, we host a Career Market which will offer the opportunity to gain insights into practical work in the field of development.
We are excited to announce Professor Francisco H. G. Ferreira (LSE) as our keynote speaker who will hold the Stephan Klasen Lecture. Moreover, together with Sarah (Langlotz) and Lennart (Kaplan), we will host the Digital Development Dialogue (3D) on Friday afternoon. Our 3D-guests will be Axel Dreher (Heidelberg University) and Jochen Kluve (KfW). They will talk about Development Effectiveness in Times of Shifting Geopolitics.
Registration is open from May 3 to June 15.
