Conference Agenda

For the first time, the DeGEval Annual Conference features an international stream. This stream presents findings from the CEval Evaluation GLOBE Project, which comprises 50 country case studies and 11 reports from transnational organizations, offering a global overview of developments in the institutionalization and professionalization of evaluation, as well as of enabling and hindering factors.

Sessions in the international stream are marked in orange. Yellow indicates sessions held entirely in English (outside the international stream), while light yellow marks sessions with individual English contributions. All other sessions are conducted in German, even if their titles appear in English in the translated programme overview.

following questions:

(1) How can the considerable differences between the individual countries and continents be explained?

(2) What are the driving and hindering forces of the institutionalization of evaluation within the political, social and professional system?
