In collaboration with the journal World Development, the University of Michigan is organizing an international conference on Sustainability and Development seeking to bring together a diverse and interdisciplinary constituency to engage with the best approaches and means to implement the Sustainable Development Goals and assess progress towards them.

The conference will take place on November 9-11, 2018 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.

The organizers welcome abstracts for oral presentations, lightning talks, panel sessions, posters, and workshops. Abstracts must address a conference theme and follow the abstract guidelines. The submission of full papers will be strongly encouraged, and the best 25 papers will be published as a special issue. The conference is also accepting applications for financial assistance from students and scholars from lower-income countries.

Deadline for abstract submission: July 15, 2018
