ICRF Conference Evaluation

 

very useful. For the first time I could actually get first hand information on what other campuses are doing research on.

everything, just allow more time for presentations even if the conference have to be extended another day

If it is still possible, could add a questions in here where you ask, what actions in response to what transpired at the conference will those who attended take. E.g. I am building a new collaboration with SCW

nothing

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. thanks to all involved.

Theme based conference, whereby research campuses present on how they are tackling a theme? E.g.. all research that are related to climate change. Other themes could include land reform, one-health, ecological restoration, regenerative agriculture/conservation farming, indigenous knowledge systems, transdisciplinary research, science into policy, etc.

I also would like us now to invite maybe a keynote on these themes from ARC or non-ARC experts.

Then, we need to think what do we want to achieve with such a conference. We can all put our heads together for this but for example, we could come up with a few resolutions, as many international conference do at the end of such a meeting, the inter-campus research committee can then ascertain how resolutions could be implemented by the research units as well as those who straddles the policy arena, commercialisation, marketing, etc.

Our M&E team can also monitor progress on such resolutions and do regular evaluations.

Just some thoughts
