The DEVELOP2 Final Seminar presents the results of nine research projects funded through the DEVELOP2 Academy Programme. The topics of the research projects range from health, food security, and environmental sustainability to social inclusion and gender equality. The event explores how research can improve understanding of global development challenges, make impact, and support evidence-based policymaking in a changing international context. The seminar brings together researchers, policymakers, stakeholders, and media representatives, and it offers an opportunity to exchange knowledge, discuss policy-relevant findings, and strengthen links between research and decision-making.
