9th June, London - “Evaluating Complexity and Complexity in Evaluation”

CECAN will be hosting an informal 1 day workshop to tackle the question of 'what is complexity'. Discussions will include;

• What are our different understandings of complexity?

• Examples of complexity in policy evaluation and design, and Nexus systems

• What factors in policy processes and Nexus systems make complexity difficult to handle?

• Sharing innovative ideas and approaches

• What tools can we bring/matching of tools to complex problems

• As a policy maker, how do I know I am dealing with a complex problem?

The workshop will focus on some of the real-world policy case studies put forward by CECAN's co-funders and we will use this informal gathering as an opportunity to plan the wider public 2 day residential workshop in September 2016.
