Webinar on evaluation of events and programs, Tuesday, 19/7
Climate change and COVID are driving a push for more science communication events. This demand has generated a better exploration of what science communication actually achieves, who it reaches, and what impact it has. These questions concern experts in disciplines ranging from risk and environmental communication, to health communication.
Critical evaluation is an essential tool of designing and running better projects and events. We mean evaluation practices based on a clear set of relevant goals, with an emphasis on a stringent methods, transparent about the evaluation process and its limitations, and using the results to formulate helpful recommendations.
This discussion on the practice and theory of evaluating science communication is a conversation with international experts, with time for questions.
With Toss Gascoigne, Jenni Metcalfe, and Helen Featherstone.
How to join
The event will run on Tuesday 19 July, at 07.30 UTC (5.30 pm Eastern Australia, 8.30am London). It is open to all. Register https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpduquqzksHtaatscUAuflL-mVZdtFN4_3
