CROP - Comparative Research Program on Poverty

A major arena for research development provided by CROP is the CROP workshops. These are regional workshops on issues in the front line of poverty research, as well as topical workshops in relation to the CROP projects. The workshops serve several purposes. New issues are explored, regional research becomes intensified, new people may be enticed to chose poverty as a research field, and new ideas about policy and research are being disseminated. Most of the workshops are collaborative with other institutions, such as local universities, research organisations or international organisations. For every workshop an international Programme Committee is selected. The Committee members have academic qualifications related to the topic of the workshop and have the gate-keeping power to define terms of participation and acceptance of papers to be presented. The Committee also evaluates potential papers before a publication is considered.
