Annual conference of the American Evaluation Association (AEA)

Thank you American Evaluation Association (AEA #Eval2022) for organizing this year’s annual conference in person. New Orleans, a festive city with their Creole cuisine and diverse culture was the perfect location.

There is no better way to reconnect with colleagues and make new connections than dinner after a day of talks about evaluation theory, research, and practice. Thank you Gavin Reddick (RESEARCH FISH LIMITED) for bringing together the members and some presenters from our TIG “Research, Technology, and Development.”

Thanks Jeffrey Alexander (RTI International), Joshua Schnell (Clarivate), Anand Desai (Clarivate), and Robin Wagner (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) - Your insightful questions and comments in the sessions strengthened our understanding and inspired everyone to continue improving our methods to measure impacts.

Gert V. Balling, Henrik Barslund Fosse, and Rikke Christensen from Novo Nordisk Foundation - I truely enjoyed your three presentations. I am looking forward to hear updates on the work of the Research on Research Institute (#RoRI - https://lnkd.in/g8pFEQw4) a consortium of research funders, academics and technologists working to champion transformative and translational research on research.
