20th Anniversary Symposium
This year marks INASP's 20th anniversary (1992-2012). In celebration of two decades of excellence, INASP is hosting a Symposium entitled 'Research, Information and Development: These truths we hold to be self-evident...?'.
The Symposium will drawing upon the expertise of INASP partners from around the world, exploring state of the art of research communication and research uptake for development as they exist today, how the field might develop in the future and how we can improve our practice in the light of robust research evidence. Through presentations and participatory discussions participants will critically examine some commonly held ‘truths’ about research communication.
The Symposium will bring together practitioners and researchers active in research communications for development. From the supply side (providing or enabling access to information), demand side (the users of research information at research and policy levels) and from the intermediary level (those involved in facilitating access and supporting more effective communication of research). As well as practitioners and researchers from developing countries, speakers and participants from funding agencies and governments with programmes in this area will attend as well as key executives from the publishing, information, and library worlds.
