The 2025 International Development Conference (GDC 2025) will focus on the various dimensions of inclusive digital transformation and its role in promoting sustainable development, under the theme 'Inclusive Digital Transformation: Social Impacts and Technological Innovations.' At a time when digital technologies are profoundly transforming global economies and societies, it is essential to examine their social impacts and ensure that technological innovations benefit everyone, particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The conference will address the social implications of these changes, propose innovative solutions, and discuss digital inclusion policies. It will also explore how technology can contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, with a focus on digital inclusion, equality, and sustainable development, while bringing together stakeholders to harness digital technologies for social and economic progress.
We invite you to contribute to the development of the conference program. This is a unique opportunity to propose topics and activities that will be presented during the conference.
We are looking for ideas for a wide range of conference segments: plenary and parallel sessions, opening speeches, interactive workshops, or training sessions.
The organizing committee of the Global Development Conference 2025 invites participants to submit innovative papers addressing the following topics:
The GDC 2025 is organized by the GDN in partnership with FERDI and the Center for Studies and Research on International Development (CERDI) as part of their collaboration within the Clermont-Ferrand International Development Hub (PCDI).
