Regional Conference
“Quality of Growth: Approaches to inclusive development in Asian Societies”
New Delhi, India,

The conference aims to discuss and identify, together with high ranking representatives and experts from different Asian and European countries, ways of enhancing existing systems that combine economic, social and ecological factors in order to achieve more sustainable and inclusive growth. More specifically, it is intended that they will reflect on how to realize this objective. In these discussions the financial and economic crisis has to be considered as well. The conference aims to provide a platform for Asian partners from the public and private sectors and civil society, as well as European experts to exchange their views and experiences. Participants should establish networks for continued communication and cooperation regarding strategies, especially those allowing for the broader population to be incorporated into the development process.
