Research for Sustainable Development


5–8 September 2017, Bern, Switzerland

We thank all participants for attending ICRD 2017. Your presence was crucial to the lively discussions that took place and to the overall success of the conference. We greatly appreciate your commitment and that you made the trip to Bern. We hope that everyone had a fruitful experience.

Convening in Bern, Switzerland, 5–8 September 2017, the 4th International Conference on Research for Development (ICRD) presented visionary contributions that will enhance transformations towards sustainable development in countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The contributions facilitated knowledge stewardship consistent with the UN Agenda 2030. The success of this agenda will largely depend on managing key trade-offs and synergies among sustainable development goals and related targets. Better knowledge of these interdependencies is required to balance conflicting interests, set priorities, and steer the transformation process towards sustainable development. Researchers, policymakers, and societal partners shared sound and timely knowledge from their fields of expertise, and engaged in discussing synergies and trade-offs with other SDGs linked to their topics.
