BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD) is inviting academics and scholars to participate in the International Conference on Digitalization, Institutions and Economics: New Frontiers in Service Delivery, to be held in Dhaka in a hybrid format from June 20 to June 22, 2022.
BIGD’s highly experienced research team engages in cutting-edge research of global standards, often in collaboration with top researchers worldwide. Our masters’ programs equip next-generation development practitioners and policymakers with a strong theoretical foundation and skills needed to solve real-world problems.
This international conference is an exceptional opportunity for social scientists from around the world to present and share their work and ideas on the role and effects of digitalization in economic, political and social spheres. Selected papers after review will be compiled and published by BIGD as chapters of a book on digitalization.
Analytical work on digitalization is a vast, uncharted territory. However, we have outlined below a number of themes aligned with the central theme of our conference.
In addition, there will be a panel session on Universalizing Birth Registration: Institutional and Policy challenges.
