Events
GLOBELICS events bring together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and emerging scholars from across the world to exchange knowledge and strengthen the global innovation and development community. Through international conferences, workshops, seminars, and policy dialogues, GLOBELICS creates spaces for discussing new research, sharing experiences across regions, and addressing major development challenges from diverse perspectives.
These activities are at the core of the GLOBELICS community. They foster collaboration across countries and generations, support the development of young scholars, strengthen connections between research and policy, and encourage dialogue between Global South and Global North perspectives. Explore our past and upcoming events and discover more than two decades of GLOBELICS activities around the world.
