Second International School on Research Impact Assessment, Banff, Alberta, Canada, September 7-11, 2014


The second ISRIA was held in Banff, Alberta, Canada, in September 2014. Attendance at the second School more than doubled to 95 participants and included representatives from North America, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. Faculty, facilitators and ISRIA 2013 alumni from organizations and institutions active in RIA (e.g., RAND Europe, Science Metrix, Kings College London, Brunel University and others) took part in the unique training opportunity. As a result, we expanded our Community of Practice and were successful in offering a rewarding learning experience where new knowledge, skills and ideas about RIA practice and theory were exchanged. 

First International School on Research Impact Assessment, Barcelona, Spain, September 15-19, 2013


The first International School on Research Impact Assessment (ISRIA) was held in Barcelona, Spain, in September 2013. In addition to 42 participants from all over the globe - including Europe, North America, Latin America, the Middle-East and Africa, many faculty members brought expertise from leading organizations and institutions around the world.

The result was an intense four days of coursework, sharing of ideas and methodologies, and an opportunity to network and socialize with colleagues from different cultures and organisations.
