An impressive cast of hugely resourceful people from many walks of life is assembled, including many travelling from afar. High profile plenary speakers include Jonas Gahr Støre, Jonathan Shepherd and Hans Rosling. Parallel sessions feature presentations on a wide range of highly topical issues, such as: reducing homelessness; preventing partner violence; promoting childhood vaccination; improving water quality; and tackling health inequalities.
Other topics include using evidence to change complex educational systems; the transferability of US evidence-based programmes to other social systems; interventions against substance abuse; foster care and school absenteeism.
The theory and practice of effect measurement is a strong focus, and the programme includes a training opportunities for those wishing to undertake systematic reviews.
We are confident that researchers, practitioners and policymakers involved in social issues will find the event both useful and informative. Welcome to three days of challenging and constructive debate that will add impetus to the promotion of evidence based policy and practice, both in Norway and internationally!
