Join TASO for our two-day annual conference on 7 – 8 May in Nottingham to develop your evaluation skills and understand the impact of your work on equality of opportunity in higher education.
The two days will be packed with interactive sessions run by experts who will guide you through best practice approaches to evaluation. Whether you’re new to evaluation, or a seasoned practitioner, the conference will have something for you.
You will learn about developing theories of change, conducting quasi-experimental studies in higher education, evaluating attainment-raising interventions and much more. The conference will equip you with new skills for designing effective evaluations and a deeper understanding of Type 3 – causal evidence.
Why attend?
If you are working in access and participation or student success, it is now more important than ever to demonstrate the impact of your work.
The Office for Students’ revised approach to regulating equality of opportunity in higher education places a greater emphasis on evaluation. This conference will help you gain the skills and knowledge needed to enhance your evaluation plans.

- Practitioners, managers or heads of responsible for developing Access and Participation Plans (APPs) or evaluations for widening participation, student success or progression programmes
- Evaluators working in higher education
- Third-sector representatives with an interest in best practice evaluation methods
Level of expertise
- Workshop sessions will be available for the following groups:
- Beginners – those with a basic knowledge of evaluation in higher education
