Research seminars: Sharing Ideas, Approaches and Findings for Education Development

 The International Institute of Educational Planning (IIEP-UNESCO), the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and the CEPED are organizing a series of research seminars for an  opportunity to share current research, ideas, approaches, and findings for educational development. 

This monthly series aims to bring together researchers, academics, and professionals in an open discussion over a varied range of topics in education development. Topics presented will be diverse in methodologies and approaches towards investigating and evaluating education issues and challenges. The inputs brought forward can be as preliminary as initial findings up to official publications and past/current partnership project experiences.
