Join the networkHow is COVID-19 changing development? WIDER Webinar Series
At UNU-WIDER we’re responding and adapting to the coronavirus pandemic. This has meant reorienting our research focus and changing how we facilitate knowledge exchange. We are making the most of the technology available and are pleased to launch a new online webinar series.
The webinar series features a line-up of eminent researchers and development specialists to present new research on the implications they foresee of COVID-19 for global development efforts and the economic and social impacts for the Global South.
The first season of the WIDER Webinar has now finished - stay tuned for details of season two webinars to be announced soon.
