The call for panel proposals and co-creation workshop themes for the 7th Nordic Development Research Conference 2023 (NorDev) is open. The conference theme is Co-creation for a just transition towards a sustainable society.

NorDev2023 welcomes topics related to co-creation between researchers and other stakeholders such as beneficiaries, decision-makers and development practitioners, across the global North and South. The conference also welcomes critical and cross-disciplinary academic perspectives on sustainability and global development.

Call for panel proposals and co-creation workshop themes

Despite achievements in global development, authoritarianism, shrinking civil spaces, environmental degradation, climate change and growing inequality are on the rise. As we face continuous, and often inter-related, political, environmental and social challenges, we recognize a need for new and accelerated global development approaches and processes. As sustainability and development challenges are complex, solutions will require innovative co-creation and coordination of different actors, regions and disciplines, which is why the conference theme is co-creation.

This conference ambitiously aims to provide a space for a state-of-the-art academic discussion and co-creation on just transitions and sustainability. We invite academic contributions from contexts across the globe and provide a platform for extended co-creation where scholars and practitioners can meet and explore meaningful and impactful collaborations to both better understand our challenges and find sustainable solutions.

Submission

NorDev is looking for two kinds of contributions; panel proposals and themes for co-creation workshops. All contributions are expected to have a solid and well-founded theoretical and methodological approach. The panel proposals/themes for co-creation should be formulated in English, including title and a short description of the theme with a maximum of 200 words. All proposals are submitted through the conference system and not via email.
