ABOUT THE EVENT
The Annual Research Officers’ Forum has been acknowledged by the industry as the premier event of the year for networking, exchanging practical ideas and gathering new information. This year’s event will focus on take-away tools and methodologies, covering new developments, innovations and methods that can expand any researcher’s suite of tools and knowledge. It will also once again enable delegates to enhance their knowledge and performance through practical discussion of challenges and advances in research in an evidence-based policy and management environment. Attendees will gain invaluable skills and tools through case studies and expert sessions tailored to the professional development needs of researchers working in a variety of public sector or social policy settings.

The Government has a renewed focus on deriving greater value from research, with its continued pursuit of improving evidence-based policy development processes. In response to this priority, organisations are demonstrating a commitment to integrate greater scientific knowledge and better leverage research and data sources to facilitate evidence informed policy making, strategic planning and organisational management. Strengthening research processes through the integration and convergence of tools and thinking across disciplines will drive innovation in research practice. Don’t miss this valuable and unique opportunity to network and learn from research leaders spanning a variety of key organisations and sectors!
