ISCRR is proud to share that three of our abstracts have been accepted for the upcoming 2025 Australian Evaluation Society (AES) Conference in September.
Dr Sarah Oxford has been selected to speak on the “Growing the Evaluation Workforce in 2025 and Beyond” panel as part of the ‘Cultivating’ conference sub-theme.
The panel will also include experienced evaluators Lydia Phillips and Kristy Hornsby. Together these three evaluators will explore innovative, cross-sector approaches to workforce development and share practical ideas for building evaluator capability in a rapidly changing world.
In another session, Dr Faye Forbes will join members from the AES Relational Evaluation mentoring group to present their learnings on how a relational approach to evaluation commissioning is becoming more important for governments and for-purpose organisations alike.
