RiDNet is a student-led network of PhD students and early career researchers working in international development and/or conducting social research in developing countries.  The conference is a great opportunity for students and early career researchers to share their experiences, research and methods with industry experts as well as leading academics.

This year, the conference aims to explore the methods and tools used to measure, evaluate and document development, both in the world of academia and in development practice. The conference will focus on three themes:

• Measuring and evaluating development
• Reporting and Documenting Development
• Linking academia and practice

RiDnet welcomes abstracts of papers from PhD students and early career researchers. Please email a 300-word (maximum) abstract to ridnet@leeds.ac.uk by 19 January 2018. Selected applicants will be informed within 3-4 weeks of the closing date. They will be given up to 10 minutes to make a presentation, after which 3-5 minutes will be spent taking questions or discussing.
