International Conference of Australasian Evaluation Society 2012

The South Australian AES Conference Committee is proud to offer you this opportunity to join us in Adelaide for the 2012 Annual Conference.

This year’s theme, Evaluation in a Changing World, invites all those with an interest in evaluation to think about the ways our world is changing and therefore our work is – or could be –changing. As examples: What are the implications:
of the changing balance of world power for work in international development, and therefore for its evaluation?
of climate change for the evaluation of work in natural resource management and disaster management?
of wicked social problems and their implications for the evaluation of the complex, fuzzy policies and programs that seek to address them?
of changing social and community relationships within and across cultures, both in Australia and overseas?
of new technology for the ways that societies work, that programs work, for what policy makers and program staff may need from evaluation; and for the ways in which we might collect, store, report and represent evaluation data and findings?
for what evaluators need to know and to be able to do, in this complex and fast changing world?
