Measuring the Impact of Integrated Systems Research

Three-day virtual workshop, 14:00–17:00 CEST

About this event

The workshop discussed methodological developments to improve the measurement of impact in complex, integrated systems research. It took stock of existing and new methodological developments of monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment work, and discussed which are suitable to evaluate and assess complex, integrated systems research.

The event was co-hosted by the CGIAR Research Programs on Water Land and Ecosystems; Forests, Trees and Agroforestry; Policies, Institutions, and Markets; as well as SPIA, the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment of the CGIAR.

Speakers

  • Holger Meinke, University of Tasmania & ISDC
  • James Reed, Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)
  • Kathy Baylis, University of California, Santa Barbara
  • Brian Belcher, Royal Road University
  • Jeff Sayer, University of British Columbia
