BACKGROUND:

Since 2006, the Evaluation Summer School has provided a unique opportunity for those working nationally, locally and across all sectors, to consider the implications of evaluation in their practice. NHS Health Scotland has been involved in funding it from its early days, and the last 3 years it has been involved in its organisation.

AIMS:

• build understanding of recent developments in evaluation,
• Use expert opinion from here and abroad
• provide opportunities to debate innovation in evaluation,
• encourage learning from across sectors.

AUDIENCE:

The Summer School has developed a reputation of being a unique evaluation event, bringing together not just international and local experts, academics,and policy makers, but  practitioners and  evaluation users from across a wide variety of sectors including, Local Authorities, the Voluntary sector, Government, Independent consultants, and the NHS.

WHAT'S NEXT:

In 2011 there will be no Summer School held as we are taking time to review our learning aims in order to best meet our audience needs. Presentations and materials from previous summer schools are still available. Further updates will appear on this website from December 2011.
