from across the pond at #ICCRES2025 via a tongue-in-cheek video presentation, as part of their unstoppable mission for promoting Realist Economic Evaluation (REE).

At the 2025 International Conference for Realist Research, Evaluation and Synthesis, Professor Ray Pawson describes the rise and fall of evaluation, quoting Chumbawamba - "I get knocked down, but I get up again" 😆🙌

Meanwhile at #ICCRES2025 our team has delivered the first workshop on Realist Economic Evaluation (REE) 🚀 Covering the 3 initial stages of framework:

1️⃣ Scope & set-up
2️⃣ Identify & theorise
3️⃣ Design & evidence

Ending with a “Dragon’s Den” pitch. Great energy & critical debate! More updates soon.

Nice early kick-off for #hsruk25. Should be a proper belta. Especially the complex care and interventions discussion (11:30, room 2.14).

Fascinating presentation from Emily Warren about the first realist RCT, combining quans and quals data, different methods (outcome evaluation, moderator and mediation analysis, QCA) to develop and test a programme theory and explore mechanisms in different contexts. @northumbriaideas.bsky.social

The race for first poster displayed has been won. It's over. Congratulations to poster A2. Also, there's a conference happening (or a symposium - whatever that is). #evaluation #research #thebestposterintheworld.
