The workshop presents empirical insights from three long-term research projects conducted in the Kyrgyz Republic. Based on this, the aim is to initiate a dialogue among scientists, practitioners, stakeholders and policy-makers on ways to facilitate the integration of research and implementation efforts for projects of development cooperation.

The workshop features speakers from the ‘International Security and Development Center’ (Berlin), the ‘Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’ and the ‘Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin’. It is supported by a grant of the ‘Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) / WOTRO Science for Global Development’.
