Call for contributions: excellence and relevance in development research

The Platform MDG Profs, an initiative of Dutch research and higher education associations, councils, funding organisations and Dutch ministries, in cooperation with Hivos, is looking for examples of research which are demonstrably excellent academically as well as relevant to development cooperation.

The contributions selected will be published in a one-off English-language magazine which will be presented to the Dutch ministers Plasterk and Koenders. The magazine will also be distributed widely amongst researchers, research institutions, university management and policy makers. For researchers this project thus offers the opportunity to increase the visibility of their research results. The deadline is 10 october 2009.

The call, including details of how to submit a contribution, can be found on the website of WOTRO.
