About the conference

CAICE 2026 brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working on the economic pressures facing the Global South: instability, climate change, and rapid technological shifts.

The programme is built around evidence based policy work. Papers that connect applied research to decisions being made now, in Nepal and across the wider region, are especially welcome.
