Together with the World Bank’s outreach team, CIGI hosted a World Bank Graduate Seminar which drew graduate students from across Ontario to discuss the practical and theoretical challenges of international development.

The report summarizes the results of this intensive two day event which explored such topics as “what is development;" “what works, what doesn’t and why;" and “careers in international development,” and outlines the results of an interactive and challenging case study undertaken by students with leading development practitioners.
