from across the pond at #ICCRES2025 via a tongue-in-cheek video presentation, as part of their unstoppable mission for promoting Realist Economic Evaluation (REE).

Who says methodology has to be boring? 🤷

At the 2025 International Conference for Realist Research, Evaluation and Synthesis, Professor Ray Pawson describes the rise and fall of evaluation, quoting Chumbawamba - "I get knocked down, but I get up again" 😆🙌

Meanwhile at #ICCRES2025 our team has delivered the first workshop on Realist Economic Evaluation (REE) 🚀 Covering the 3 initial stages of framework:

1️⃣ Scope & set-up
2️⃣ Identify & theorise
3️⃣ Design & evidence

Ending with a “Dragon’s Den” pitch. Great energy & critical debate! More updates soon.

Nice early kick-off for #hsruk25. Should be a proper belta. Especially the complex care and interventions discussion (11:30, room 2.14).

The REEM Team are delighted to welcome Professor Gill Westhorp to Northumbria University on Friday 27 June, where she will give a talk on the functions of formal theory in realist research. #realist #theory #Westhorp

Fascinating presentation from Emily Warren about the first realist RCT, combining quans and quals data, different methods (outcome evaluation, moderator and mediation analysis, QCA) to develop and test a programme theory and explore mechanisms in different contexts. @northumbriaideas.bsky.social

Ray Pawson on the vital role of carrots in the Future of Evaluation. They help you see into the 'black box'. #evaluation.

The race for first poster displayed has been won. It's over. Congratulations to poster A2. Also, there's a conference happening (or a symposium - whatever that is). #evaluation #research #thebestposterintheworld.
