SweDev is a multidisciplinary network for development researchers based in Sweden. It connects researchers and supports a community focused on development research, while helping make research-based knowledge accessible to wider audiences, including policymakers and practitioners. Its work highlights the contribution of evidence and interdisciplinary collaboration to addressing global challenges, poverty reduction and sustainable development.

The network shares development news, research publications and expert insights, and hosts dialogues on development research. Its website also features conferences, events, education, grants, funding opportunities and job listings, helping members and visitors find relevant opportunities across the field. SweDev supports connections among researchers and promotes collaboration through its membership programme, institutional support network and partnerships.

SweDev also engages in public discussions and events, including activities at Almedalen, and shares information about research initiatives and calls for funding. Recent coverage includes development research conferences and partnerships addressing health and sexual and reproductive health and rights. Through these resources and activities, SweDev serves as a hub for Sweden’s development research community and for people seeking knowledge, connections and opportunities related to global development.
