About

DENeB is coordinated exclusively by young development economics researchers committed to promoting and sharing their interest in development economics topics. They form the organizing committee of DENeB (more about the organizing committee and how to get engaged).  

DENeB actively invites researchers connected to the German research landscape to join the DENeB network as affiliates. Affiliates are listed on the DENeB website, where they can present themselves. Affiliates can also announce their availability for thesis supervision, advertise open positions for research and fieldwork assistants, etc., through the network (more about becoming an affiliate).  

DENeB is also characterized by its extensive network of development economics researchers. Everyone interested in development economics is welcome to participate in our in-person and online events and to subscribe to our newsletters for updates on job postings, call for papers, funding opportunities, and other announcements in the field of development economics.

Events organised by DENeB
