The Evaluation Exchange: Use your research skills to make a difference

EvaApplications are now open for the Evaluation Exchange, which is a partnership between UCL and voluntary and community sector organisations in Camden and east London that aims to improve evaluation practice.

Applications close 16 June 2021.

What will I do?

• Postgraduate students and researchers work collaboratively with organisations based in or working with communities in Newham and Camden.
• This year, 12 voluntary or community sector organisations will be matched with small teams of postgraduate students and researchers. They will work together for 6 months, from September/October 2021 – April 2022.
• During this time teams will have contact at least once a month and will work on a specific task or issue that will be agreed at the start of the project. The student team will enable the organisation to complete the agreed task.
• A work programme will be tailored to the needs of each organisation and work will be completed in partnerships between the organisation and students.

Why get involved?

• Enhance your research and evaluation skills in a real-world setting
• Create a lasting change in practice and make a valued contribution to an organisation
• Learn about the workings of community and voluntary organisations
• Build and establish a network of people working in this sector

What support will I receive?

• After matching you with a suitable organisation, you will be provided with training throughout the programme to help you make the most out of your experience.
• The Evaluation Exchange will also be on hand to provide ad hoc support and advice throughout the programme.
