International conference on monitoring and evaluation, September 25th-27th 2013, Budapest, Hungary
The Hungarian National Development Agency (NDA) responsible for the management of the Structural and Cohesion Funds and the Ministry of Rural Development in cooperation with the European Commission will be organising a joint international conference on monitoring and evaluation between the 25th and 27th of September in Budapest.
The aim of the conference is to enhance the effective preparation of the next programming period by discussing the key issues of monitoring as a management tool as well as the ex-ante evaluation requirements and issues (e.g. the relevance, feasibility and effectiveness of programmes, possibilities of impact modelling, indicators, experience of pervious programming periods etc.) We believe that the event will provide a uniquely enriching learning environment as well as a forum for different member states to discuss challenges they are currently facing during the planning of their operational programmes.
Experts will be invited from countries all over Europe, among them colleagues of the different DGs of the European Commission, the World Bank, members of the public administration, evaluation experts as well as academics.
Participants will be registered by the NDA through its website (please see http://www.nfu.hu/monconf2013). Registration is now open.
Detailed agenda and invitation will follow soon and these documents will be sent to the registered participants. Please contact [email protected] for more information).
The cost of participation will be covered by the NDA, however, travel expenses and accommodation will have to be paid by the participants.
Please note that there is a limit as to the number of participants in the conference which has been maximised as a total of 60 from the RD side (altogether 200 participants are expected).
