International Development Research Network 2nd Forum

24 February 2021
IDR event banner

Thursday, February 18th, 2.00 – 4.00 pm 
Exploring research and engagement methods during times of pandemics. Opportunity to share examples of what works and why.

Our purpose for the 2nd Forum was to provide an opportunity for international development researchers to exchange best practices, enablers and also what challenges us to do effective engagement as part of our research and ensure our research has an impact on policy and practice. 

The zoom session first included a brief panel of researchers and a Q&A (zoom chat space for moderated questions) to learn about research and engagement methods during times of pandemics. The program included innovative approaches to communicating remotely, lessons learned, and shared examples of what has worked and why. Panel speakers included:

  1. Anthony Fee - "Sharing ideas to help Zoom interviews produce data that is reliable"
  2. Raymond Ayilu  - "Collaboration by distance"
  3. Kyeong Kang "Digital technologies Impact on Business and Society".
  4. Sojen Pradhan ‘Impact sourcing, community entrepreneurship for tourism in Nepal”
  5. Jess MacArthur – remote data collection - "Micro-narrative Sample - UTS Research"

Secondly, we broke into small groups (Breakout Rooms on zoom) to network and further explore enablers and barriers to researchers at UTS achieving effective engagement and impact. Each break-out room shared any key highlights. A marketplace was opened for participants to share new resources, tools, and frameworks to maximise research impact and engagement while working remotely. 

The forum was hosted by the UTS International Development Working Group, a university-wide group that seeks to promote and strengthen research for international development outcomes, with a particular focus on translating research to impact. Please join us for a highly interactive and engaging zoom session.

Evaluating in a Pandemic: Tips, Tricks, and Resources

During 2020, the AES shared a series of Tips, Tricks and Resources for evaluating during COVID-19. With the sudden 5-day 'circuit breaker' lockdown just ending in Victoria, Australia, we thought it was time to revisit these tips, tricks and resources shared and highlight a few new ones.

The series can be found on the AES resources page: https://www.aes.asn.au/resources-landing
