The Finnish Society for Development Research (FSDR) organizes the annual Development Days Conference 2025 (#DevDays2025) with the theme:
"Development Transitions – Amidst Waste, Wars, and Maldevelopment"

Development is in transition as an academic discipline, a foreign policy, and a professional practice. How has this process of change unfolded over time? Is it transitioning for better or worse? What changes have occurred, and what transitions should happen? These are some of the questions that the Development Days 2025 conference will explore.
While there may be various analyses of the historical trajectory and tendencies of the development process at the grassroots, national and international levels, there is a common understanding that strategies to transition into different visions for alternative futures are path-dependent. This means that realizing an envisioned future—whether through political-economic reforms, technological innovations, or socio-ecological transformations—must contend with the specificities of past and present local, institutional, social, and global contexts.
Some important advances in scientific knowledge and the prominence of the human rights discourse have been achieved despite—or as a result of—the longstanding dominance of the modernization paradigm as a framework for development cooperation, alongside the continuity of unequal North-South dependent relations. Yet, the fundamental problems of humankind remain. The reality is that development is transitioning, and will have to transition, amidst the conditions and outcomes of waste, wars, and maldevelopment.
#DevDays2025 will provide a space for development researchers, practitioners, and activists to share their research findings and interrogate ideas related to these critical phenomena and the broader concept of “development transitions”.
The conference will be organised in hybrid format.
