Profile: Founded in 1975, the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI) is an independent and non-profit making international non-governmental organisation.   It is an active network of 170 organisations with over 20 working groups addressing key issues in Development Research, Training and Information.  The network is managed from a small central Secretariat in Bonn, Germany although its Executive Committee is drawn from throughout Europe.  It is hosted by three institutions - the German Development Policy Institute, the German Foundation for International Development and ZEF Bonn.  Its purpose is to promote development research and training activities in economic, social, cultural, technological, institutional and environmental areas.
Approach: EADI's objectives are: i) to generate and stimulate exchange of information between European scientists and researchers concerned with development issues, ii) to promote interdisciplinary studies on specific themes, and iii) to develop contacts with researchers from other regions of the world.  To meet these aims, members and non-members take part in thematic working groups (more than 20 groups) which organise conferences, seminars, research project and publish their results in the EADI Book Series.
Finance: The annual budget for 2000 was DEM 455.000,00.
