Network of Irish-based Development Economists (NIDE)
Network of Irish-based Development Economists (NIDE)
About us
The main objectives of NIDE are to create a network of development economists based in Irish institutions, facilitate exchange of ideas and collaborations amongst network members, support junior researchers interested in the field of development economics who are based in Ireland and to increase Ireland’s contribution to development economics research. In addition, we hope to foster closer collaborations between Irish-based researchers involved in development economics and key Irish stakeholders engaged in development initiatives in developing countries.
