The CERDI will host the 2022 International Conference on Development Economics (ICDE) scheduled on 30^th of June and 1^st of July 2022.

The objective of the conference is to be a forum for discussing innovative research in development economics. It is a follow-up of the 2021 edition that was jointly organised by Dial (IRD, PSL, CNRS) and Gretha (Université de Bordeaux, CNRS).

The keynote lectures will be delivered by  Rabah Arezki (African Development Bank), Jean-Marie Baland (Université de Namur) and Sylvie Lambert (Paris School of Economics).

The French association of development economics, the AFEDEV federates researchers and practitioners in the field of development economics and promotes research in development economics in France.

The CERDI is a research centre on international development established in 1976. At that time, it was the first joint-unit between the CNRS - National Center for Scientific Research - and a French university dedicated to development economics.

The CERDI gathers researchers from the CNRS, the IRD (French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development) and faculties from the Université Clermont Auvergne.

The publications and expertise of the members of the CERDI cover all the aspects of economic development: the engines of growth along with the social, economic and environmental consequences of development.

Key research areas are:

•     development financing,
•     sustainable development paths
•     the integration of developing economies into the world economy.
