We are pleased to announce the 2023 edition of our UNU-MERIT Internal Conference - 28th and 29th September 2023, at Belvedere and UNU-MERIT premises.
This is a key event for our institute, where we collectively kick off the academic year, welcome the new PhD cohorts, and discuss and engage with the research of higher year PhD fellows and the academic staff, and connect with colleagues over drinks and borrel. This edition will also feature two external keynote speakers; their expertise will enrich the discussions and inspire fresh perspectives on innovation and governance.
It is a chance to forge new connections, strengthen existing relationships, and build a vibrant research community.
The call for presentations is now open! You can register your interest in this form. More information and details will follow soon. Stay tuned!

We're looking forward to seeing you all there, in person, and hearing all about your fascinating research work and ideas!
