On 27-28 May 2024, the 39^th annual meeting of the International Research Group for Policy and Programme Evaluation (INTEVAL) will take place in The Hague. Dr Indran A. Naidoo, IOE Director, will participate in the event, as one of the proponents of a book on value-based evaluations, to be co-led together with Hur Hassnain, Rob D. van den Berg, Inga-Lill Aronsson, Juha Ilari Uitto.

The Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs will host the event, which will feature discussions on finished books, current projects, new work and challenges. Special sessions will include a debate on the role of evaluation with supranational foundations, and a meet-up with members of Dutch & Flemish Evaluation Societies to discuss artificial intelligence and responsive evaluation, and implications of the OECD criterion for evaluations that deal with ownership, responsible evaluations, and the ‘evaluand’s perspective’.
