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
DENeB offers a wide range of activities. Everyone irrespective of being in the organizing committee or being an affiliate or not can participate in the following activities:
How to become a DENeB organizing member
Every junior researcher living or working in the Berlin area, and interested in and committed to development economics, can join the DENeB organizing committee. Current and past members include master’s students, pre-docs, PhDs, and junior post-docs. We know that junior is highly subjective. So, we decided to set “getting conference keynote requests” as a rule of thumb for no longer being considered as junior. Being an organizing member does not involve any monetary costs.
As a member of the organizing committee, you …
participate in monthly meetings (virtual and in person) with other members to exchange and plan future activities.
have access to our internal platform for exchanging research ideas, discussing implementation, and addressing any questions.
can participate in internal, in-person workshops to discuss preliminary work in a supportive and friendly environment.
can participate in monthly writing sessions.
can disseminate and promote your own research through our social media channels and on our website.
will be listed on the DENeB website.
Get Engaged: If you want to engage in our activities, you are cordially invited to attend one of our monthly internal meetings and/or get in touch with us at deneb@diw.de.
