EADI Directors' Meetings
Setting the Agenda: Annual Meeting of Directors
This annual event is for directors of institutes dealing with development research. It provides a forum to combine intellectual input with practical issues to be solved through collective action. Topics for discussion include accreditation standards for development study programmes, journal grading, as well as the positioning of the development studies community in Europe and the overall capacity and degree of specialisation. Managing change in development research institutes and thinktanks is another workstream started in 2008.
