The course provides insights in the theory and practice of policy evaluation. It approaches the broad field of policy evaluation by fostering the understanding of impact chains and their application in policy evaluation. Impact chains graphically illustrate how interventions – e.g. policies, but also research projects – (should) reveal desired effects. The use of impact chains in the different phases of the policy cycle will be discussed with a special focus on policy evaluation. By the means of group exercises, discussions with practitioners and case studies, the participants of the workshop are invited to reflect on how natural science can contribute to policy evaluation and on how research can become socially relevant. Participants might use impact chains in order to sketch the impact of future research (e.g. in funding proposals) or to illustrate how and in which stage their research findings should by fed into the policy cycle.
