Evaluating and analyzing policies: implications and objectives
In an upcoming event at Sciences Po's Centre for European Studies, students will have the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the role of impact evaluation in shaping policy decisions and the importance of evidence-based policy-making. The event, titled "Policy Evaluation," will focus on democratic transparency and the rationalization of political decisions.
The speakers at this event will be positioned at the intersection of the academic debate and the practice of policy evaluation at the international, European, and national levels. Among the speakers are María Aránzazu Rodriguez, Leonardo Zanobetti, and Elena Cossu.
María Aránzazu Rodriguez, the Research and Policy Manager at J-PAL Paris, will be discussing her work, which focuses on the application of randomized control trials in policy evaluation. She has also conducted comparative law research in Belgium, focusing on policy evaluation in employment disability rights both in the U.S. and the EU.
Leonardo Zanobetti, a Policy Analyst at the EU Commission, will be discussing the importance of evidence-based policy-making in the European Union. His presentation is expected to provide insights into how impact evaluation impacts the functioning of institutions and the added value of a scientific approach in defining notions such as efficiency and performance.
Elena Cossu, who is currently a Post-doc at Sciences Po's Centre for European Studies and Comparative, and previously served as a Senior Policy Evaluation Researcher at the National Centre for Social Research, UK, will be discussing her experience in these roles.
The speakers' presentations will offer practical examples and case studies to illustrate the application of their research in real-world policy contexts. The event is expected to be a valuable learning experience for students, offering them a unique opportunity to learn from experts in the field of policy evaluation.
While there is no direct information specifying the speakers for the Policy Evaluation event or detailed descriptions of their roles and backgrounds specifically related to international, European, and national policy evaluation, Sapna V. Rampersaud, a policy and legal professional with extensive experience in legislative work, legal research, and policy analysis at the U.S. national level as well as comparative research involving European Union disability rights, is a potential speaker with relevant qualifications.
