The INCLUDE annual conference is taking place between 8 and 16 June. This year, the conference is centred around the challenges and opportunities presented by COVID-19 on the African continent, linking this with what has been learnt from INCLUDE’s research and dialogue programmes over this past year. The conference, which is called ‘Building forward more inclusively’, will consist of seven thematic sessions, during which the floor will be opened to researchers, experts and policymakers from the Netherlands and Africa to share their experiences and insights.
