We invite you to the next session in the RLDC series, which will be delivered online via Zoom.

There is an increasing focus on research that drives direct socio-economic and environmental impact. A panel with a broad range of practice-relevant experience whose research not only contributes to socio-economic development but also influences policy and practice will bring different perspectives on leading impactful research and create a space for discussion and learning.
