CONFERENCE 2

Social Inclusion, Migration (in particular interventions related to integration/assimilation)
12 SEPTEMBER 2022 – MARIBOR, SLOVENIA

PROFEEDBACK aims to foster the networking of the policy evaluation community at EU-level, raise awareness on the importance of evaluation policy research and improve its impact on policy-making. The Platform, following a bottom-up and open approach, will gather researchers and professionals from various scientific fields and sectors to present and evaluate theories, topics, tools and methods of policy evaluation. Results of the Europe-wide assessment of good practices will provide direct and high-quality inputs for national and EU bodies responsible for policy evaluation.

Policy evaluation is a key tool in understanding, developing and modernising EU policies, thus there is a growing demand for EU-wide and high-quality evaluation services. The main challenge is that currently there is no bottom-up platform for European researchers and professionals working in policy evaluation. They have limited possibilities to discuss common problems, assess country specific practices and share their knowledge in a mutually beneficial and effective way.

The event is organized by OPHIZ in cooperation with the University of Maribor, Faculty of Economics and Business and the Economic Society Maribor within the Framework of COST Programme, under COST ACTION 20112 – PROFEEDBACK.
