Conference on Human Capital Investments

Welcome to the Conference on Human Capital Investments:
«Learning from the field: What works and what does not in development interventions»

 

We are better educated and healthier than 50 years ago, but how much of this human capital has been translated into better and more equal opportunities for the poor? The Loyola Behavioral Lab, the Development Institute – Fundación ETEA and Middlesex University London are pleased to announce the International Conference «Learning from the field: What works and what does not in development interventions«. The focus of the conference will be on investments in human capital in developing countries.

 

We are delighted to confirm our keynote speakers are:

Our keynote speakers will share their views on what types of interventions have worked well (effective interventions) and what sort of lessons we have learned from bad experiences (ineffective interventions).
