Work in various forms is being carried out on all six themes
by all three institutes. One institute ‘led’ each
meeting, providing a speaker who presented both on current
institutional research in that area, and gave some thoughts
for future directions.
This was followed by comments from discussants from each
of the other two institutes, who responded with reference
both to their own research, as well as their thoughts for
the future.
There was also be a special meeting in the middle of the
series, which celebrated the life and work of Professor
Sir Hans Singer, and used his ideas to build a
new conversation about the future of international development.
