EADI: European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes
DSA: Development Studies Association of the United Kingdom and Ireland

From the conference website:
'The EADI-DSA 2011 joint conference seeks to be one convening space to fundamentally revisit and rethink the development paradigm(s) in all its dimensions in an era of plurality, uncertainty and change.

The EADI-DSA 2011 conference seeks to maximise the opportunity of working together and to revisit and rethink ‘development’, to generate new ideas, new narratives and new thinking whenever possible globally co-constructed with partners in global-South.

The conference will begin with the Dudley Seers Lecture by an eminent development thinker. Each of the three conference days will have a focus or a theme:

• Day 1: New values: Rethinking progress and how to measure it
• Day 2: New institutions: Rethinking governance systems
• Day 3: New ideas: Where are the voices and what alliances will be necessary and viable?'
