CMI at Arendalsuka 2026

CMI will be participating at Arendalsuka 2026, contributing to key conversations on development policy, aid effectiveness, migration, and global inequality.

Arendalsuka takes place from 10–14 August. Each year, the week brings together researchers, policymakers, civil society, journalists, and business leaders to discuss pressing national and international issues.

We look forward to engaging in discussions that reflect CMI’s core research areas, including governance, development cooperation, and global challenges.
