A last chance to celebrate with our 2017-18 Masters students before their exams, the Summer Celebration will feature a Question Time event with leading academics from the Global Development Institute in a lively session fielding questions from the class of 17-18 on topics ranging from: the reality of development theory vs practice, the future of disruptive tech and ICT4D, and the concept of inequality. Guests are asked to arrive for 1620 as Question Time will start promptly at 1630 until 1720.

Guests will then move to the nearby Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) for a drinks reception and nibbles, to mingle with academics, researchers, and alumni, until 7pm.

The event is part of the Global Development Institute's celebrations of 60 years of development studies at The University of Manchester.
