In order to start a working relationship between the World Bank and the RAD, the partner institutions are encouraged to assign one Academic Liaison officer to the RAD.
This contact person maintains a working relationship with the World Bank, and serves as a bridge between the RAD and his/her institution and network. Further, the Academic Liaison keeps his/her colleagues abreast of relevant information on Bank events and opportunities, research trends, issues and resources, and ensures that researchers' needs and concerns are conveyed to the relevant departments or units within the Bank.
Membership is open to all university departments, research centers, think tanks and foundations that deal with international development - regardless of academic discipline.
If you wish to join, please fill in the short Membership form or contact Anna Kuznicka at the World Bank Paris Office.
