The European Forum on Philanthropy and Research Funding is hosting an international workshop on research evaluation at the University of Oxford on 9 November 2010 (11.00 - 16.30). The workshop will focus on how foundations can actively work with researchers to maximise risk-taking in peer review procedures and minimise reporting burdens, while maintaining the credibility of the evaluation outcomes.

A copy of the draft programme is available here.

Note that there is a direct bus from Heathrow airport to Oxford and an hourly train service from London Paddington station. Details of how to get to the venue -  the Said Business School at the University of Oxford – are available here

 There is no fee to participate. To register for the event, please contact Dace Spelmane (dspelmane@efc.be) before 31 October.
