CECAN Webinar: A Systems Approach to Environmental Policy in Defra

Nov 25, 2020 | News

On 24th November 2020, Tom Oliver (University of Reading) hosted a CECAN webinar which introduced the Systems Research Programme established by the UK government’s Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in March 2019, with the aim to better understand multiple outcomes of policy decisions and how suites of policies interact.

If you were unable to join the webinar, you can read further details and watch the session via our Events page. We are also pleased to be able to share a PDF version of the PowerPoint slides.

In case you missed last week's webinar: 'Lessons from commissioning, implementing and evaluating a multi-site, complex system change programme using a developmental evaluation approach', a recording is now available on the CECAN website: www.cecan.ac.uk/videos/
