Centre for Evaluation Retreat - 2016

School Centre for Evaluation Retreat and AGM
We will be holding the School Centre for Evaluation Retreat and AGM in London on 10th and 11th November.

All School staff and research degree students are invited to attend both events.

Retreat plans
The Retreat will be for one day on 10th November. We will have sessions on topics such as "the role of evaluation in policy development", "assessing context and its influence on outcomes", and "opportunistic evaluations of programmes and systems". There will be plenty of time for lively debate, and this will be followed by a keynote speaker and then a reception.

Funding for the Retreat
The cost for us to put on the retreat is about £100 per person and the Centre is seeking to find fair ways to maximise the cost-recovery. Several groups/departments have agreed to cover the cost of their staff to attend, so please contact your group/department head to see if this is the case. Otherwise, there are options to to pay by debit/credit card.

Paying by grant code? Once you have registered, please ensure you complete this form http://evaluation.lshtm.ac.uk/files/2016/07/Evaluation-retreat-2016-IATJ.docx and send it to centresupport@lshtm.ac.uk in order for your booking to be confirmed.

If you are not able to pay, then the Centre may be able to cover the cost of your attendance – please email evaluation@lshtm.ac.uk with “2016 Retreat” in the subject line, explaining the circumstances.

However, places at the retreat are limited to 90 attendees and so first priority will go to those who are able to cover the £100 cost for their attendance. If more than 90 people are able to cover their costs, then priority will go to those who registered first.

If fewer than 90 people are able to cover their cost, then registration will be allocated to those who cannot cover their cost, in order of date of email received. Those who are unable to cover their cost will be notified if their registration was successful after the 1st November.

AGM
The AGM will be held on the 11th November in Jerry Morris A&B from 10am to 1pm. It is aimed at those who want to contribute to the Centre and its plans for the next year.

Attendance is free and there is no need to register for the AGM.
