About this Event

IAS Residential Fellow Mr Sumit Dugar delivers a seminar on their research -

This format builds on a successful session I had facilitated at the ‘Global Dialogue Platform on Anticipatory Action,’ in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Reading, UN Agencies, and the Red Cross. The seminar will explore how to openly discuss research failures and challenges in evidence uptake within international development programming. Participants will reflect on instances where well-intentioned applied research failed to achieve its intended impact and consider how these experiences can strengthen future research-policy-practice interfaces. The session aims to foster a safe and collaborative environment where scholars and practitioners can share candid reflections on the limitations and lessons of research-led programming.

Arrivals from 11:45 am for a 12:00 noon start. For those joining in-person, lunch will be served after the seminar from 1:00pm.

International House can be found here on the campus map.

If these in person tickets have sold out, you can still register for the Zoom Webinar.
