Homecoming 2024

The Homecoming 2024 happened on September 27 and 28 at the Alte Mensa. It brought together former and current academics, practitioners, and students from the Göttingen School of Development Economics to foster our community, exchange experiences and insights, and return once more to lovely Göttingen. 

We experienced two days full of interesting discussion panels, presentations, and social activities. Moreover, we host a Career Market which will offer the opportunity to gain insights into practical work in the field of development. Prof. Francisco H. G. Ferreira from the London School of Economics and Political Science served as keynote speaker for the second  Stephan Klasen Lecture. Together with Sarah Langlotz and Lennart Kaplan, we organized the first offline Digital Development Dialogue (3D), discussing about  Development Effectiveness in Times of Shifting Geopolitics. with Prof. Axel Dreher from Heidelberg University) Prof. Jochen Kluve from KfW, and Peter Krahl  from the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development.

We thank all of the participants and am looking forward to seeing you again soon in Göttingen! Because, extra Gottingam non est vita, si est vita non est ita.
