Call for submissions: RDI Network Research Highlights

Topics Development studies | RDI News | Ethical research and evaluation

This October, RDI Network is running a campaign to spotlight member research on our digital channels! Each week throughout October, we’ll feature a piece of research or a recent publication from someone in our network. It’s a chance to give members’ work the visibility it deserves, and to help connect researchers, practitioners, and policymakers across the network with work they might otherwise miss.

Submit your publications here!

What we’re looking for

We’re inviting submissions from members who have published research or evaluation work in 2025-26, particularly (though not exclusively) on the following themes:

  • Research-practice-policy collaboration
  • Ethical research and evaluation
  • Regional development issues (Australia, the Pacific, Asia)
  • Locally led development
  • GEDSI
  • Indigenous rights and self-determination
  • Humanitarian and development nexus
  • Evaluation and MEL practice

If your work doesn’t fit neatly into one of these categories but is relevant to the network, we’d still like to hear from you. Please note that the research submitted must be open source.

How to submit

To put your research forward, complete this form with a link to the publication and a short summary (one or two lines) of what it covers and why it matters. Submissions close Thurs Oct 8th.

Selected pieces will be featured across our LinkedIn page, website, and newsletter in October. If you have questions, please contact [email protected].

We’re looking forward to seeing what our members have been working on!
