Creation of the Pôle Clermontois de Développement International
A new centre for development and development activities
This event marked the official launch of a new centre of excellence in Clermont-Ferrand, bringing together CERDI, Ferdi and the Global Development Network to develop solutions for developing countries and bring together academic researchers, policy makers and project implementers. I am proud to be part of this laboratory.
A day full of meetings
This event was full of insightful interventions, speeches and meetings. I had the opportunity to discuss their vision of development policy and climate action with many senior officials from the French Ministry of Finance, the French Development Agency and, of course, Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, Minister of State for Development and International Partnerships, attached to the Minister of European and Foreign Affairs.

Pierre Beaucoral
PhD Candidate in Development Economics
I’m a development economist in training at CERDI. I spend most of my time debugging my R and Python codes trying to understand where “climate money” goes, what it is for, what it changes locally, and how data and ML can help answer these questions.
