EADI Jubilee Event 2025 Development in Crisis: Reflecting on the Past, Looking to the Future

Celebrating 50 Years of Commitment to Development Research. EADI is going to celebrate its 50th anniversary from April 2024 to September 2025. EADI was founded 1975 in Linz, Austria, with a preceding assembly of like-minded researchers in 1974 in Ghent, Belgium. They wanted to "promote a concerted approach to the gaps and shortcomings in research on development problems as practised in the rich countries" (The EADI Story, 1999, page 71).
