Aiming to build on themes from the World Development Report 2000-2001, a
Conference on Growth and Poverty will be hosted by UNU's World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU/WIDER) in Helsinki on 25-26 May
2001.

The conference will review what is currently known about the relationship between poverty and growth and provide an opportunity to share views on the direction of future research, including issues that require attention, methods of analysis which need to be developed, and new data sets that would facilitate research. Selected conference papers, together with a policy summary, will be included in a conference volume to be published by UNU/WIDER.

Those interested in participating are invited to submit an application by February 28 together with a short summary of their research interests.
