Workshop Programme: Agenda de trabajo CEIL CROP 23 mayo 2017
The main purpose of the event was to discuss the potential of Sustainability Science to produce high quality research able to impact in the Argentinean and Latin American societies. Within this framework, some of the most prominent scholars in the field of development and poverty research in Argentina (see above) presented their research portfolios. The specific topics discussed included poverty multidimensionality and alternatives to measure it following a rights-based approach; urban poverty and inequality; labour markets, rights and poverty in contemporary societies; rural poverty in dynamic social contexts; environment and development targets in Agenda 2030.
The workshop organisers and participants agreed to hold a second workshop from 22-24 November 2017. This event will follow the CROP's standard format for international workshops, which includes the production of a peer-reviewed publication after the event.
