European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes

The European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI) is the professional body for development studies and area studies in Europe. It has about 300 members in 27 countries.

It publishes the journal European Journal of Development Research.

Every three years, EADI holds a general conference, in cooperation with one of the member institutes.

The mission of EADI is to promote quality in research and education, scientific cooperation and the dissemination of development research to the public. EADI aims to further contacts between researchers, development agencies, politicians, individual stakeholders, and national and international organisations in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. EADI communicates and disseminates research results and training opportunities to such constituencies as: government and non-government development agencies, international development organisations, and the wider media and policy-makers.

The association receives funding from various sources including membership fees and core funding from the Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

As part of the quality insurance work, an accreditation programme for Master courses was set up by EADI, named “International Accreditation Council” (IAC/EADI). The council is a member of INQAAHE (International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education).
