Presenter: Robert Sale, Nous Group
Register online by 30 May 2023.

Event Description: 

This is an opportunity to discuss the recently released AES report on the State of Evaluation in Australia from a Northern Territory perspective. Attendees are encouraged to read the report beforehand and come ready to discuss. Robert Sale will also give an informal overview of the report and there will be copies to browse at the event. The conversation is likely to revolve around questions such as – what resonated for you? What implications does this have for your practice? What would you like to see for future research? Come and enjoy the sunset and conversation and, perhaps, join us for dinner afterwards.

The report is available here: The State of Evaluation in Australia: A study of current evaluation volume, drivers, approaches, and trends in Australia (AES, March 2023) - https://www.aes.asn.au/images/AES_state_of_evaluation_report_14_03_23_final.pdf

This free event has been organised by the AES Northern Territory Regional Network. Our seminar series provides an opportunity for you to meet with AES members and others in the evaluation community and to share and learn from the experiences of fellow evaluators.
