Methods for Measuring Impact

Our next event will take place on the 5th of October and will focus on the topic of measuring impact, including thinking about the issue of attribution. We have invited special guests to discuss:

•  What to measure

• The different methods, which to choose and why

• The challenges & limitations of the methods 

Our first guest speaker is Ben Shaw, formerly of the Centre for the Evaluation of Complexity Across the Nexus (CECAN), a £3m research centre hosted by the University of Surrey, whose aim is to transform the practice of policy evaluation in Nexus areas and to make it fit for a complex world. 

Ben has particular research interests in the use of evidence in the policy system, the development of evaluation approaches for environmental policy interventions and the development of policies and actions intended to create child-friendly cities.
