Institute for Developing Nations


For over 13 years, Emory University’s Institute for Developing Nations (IDN) has played an integral part in finding new ways for higher education to help solve the world’s most complex development problems by providing resources to students and connecting practitioners with scholars who work to advance human rights and alleviate human suffering.

Though the time has come for IDN to close, Emory University remains committed to expanding its global engagement and continuing to strengthen its partnerships with globally connected Atlanta institutions.
