· develop connections with a network of Scottish researchers and research professionals working in international development

· develop learnings on best practice for engaging in international development research

· have the opportunity to highlight their own international development research

Institutional Inclusion

There is no limit on the number of attendees from a single HEI or research institute however we are striving for representation from as many Scottish organizations as possible, so the organizers reserve the right to impose institutional caps on attendance.

Each Scottish HEI and research institute will be allocated one slot in the Institutional Research Briefings session. Please coordinate within your own institution to identify who will present for your organization. A question as you register will enable you to indicate if you are presenting on behalf of your institution.

All attendees are invited to showcase their work in a poster.
