Norsk Forening for Utviklingsforskning (the Norwegian Association for Development Research – NFU) arranges the national conference in close cooperation with the host institution. In addition to the national conferences, NFU co-organize Nordic conferences in cooperation with sister institutions in our neighboring countries.

We encourage interested research communities and institutions to take on the responsibility to arrange the national NFU conference 2018 and write a short concept note (1-2 pages) on conference topic and potential sub-topics, by 10 December 2017 to the NFU board at styret@nfu.no. The NFU board will respond shortly thereafter. Call for working groups and papers could be circulated in in January-February 2018.
NFU will assist in planning and arranging the conference.

For enquiries, please contact styret@nfu.no, or NFU chair Erlend Eidsvik at erlend.eidsvik@hvl.no.
