Mission
DEGIT focuses on two major tasks. It provides a virtual platform for various strands of research at the intersection of the traditional fields Economic Growth and International Trade, and it organizes conferences and workshops to disseminate academic research through an international network.
Organization
DEGIT has been established as a conference series by Bjarne S. Jensen of the University of Southern Denmark. What has started with the first DEGIT conference in 1996 has developed into an international network of researchers who are interested in various aspects of trade and growth.
Conference
The annual DEGIT conference, which is organized in cooperation with local hosts, is open to all researchers who want to present work on topics that are related to DEGIT conference themes and DEGIT research interests.
