There is a real collaborative buzz at the
@ukevaluation.bsky.social conference this week, bringing together a diverse community from across the UK and beyond to re-connect, build new links, share learning, highlighting the importance of evaluation in all its forms and inspiring innovation.

Day 2 of our conference, Data in Focus, is well underway. It’s a jam packed programme today. It’s been great meeting so many of our members and wider evaluation community in person in sunny Glasgow!! #UKEval25

Join us on 22 May at 09:50 for the panel discussion “Participation or Pretence?” at @ukevaluation.bsky.social Conference.

Chaired by Joanne McLean, this session will explore the challenges of mainstreaming participatory methods in evaluation design.

So excited about this, partly the theme - data - which is surely at the heart of all evaluations and yet a damn tricky thing! But, also pleased with our ticket pricing, generally a bit cheaper than last year and special offers for charities and students.

Thinking of growing your evaluation skills? Take a look at our latest training courses - we've recently added Process Tracing, and Qualitative Comparative Analysis training.
