This workshop is organised by the REV Group, the Ecsite thematic group that stimulates and helps facilitate research and evaluation in science centres and museums across Europe. The workshop is open to all, join!

This pre-conference focuses on the burning questions of our sector. We all have our own perspectives on learning, and so do our institutions. These perspectives influence the choices we make and how we define and value indicators for success. In this pre-conference we will discuss such choices and focus on research and evaluation that are connected to our burning questions. Expect workshops, a 'learning-battle', lots of good examples from museums and science centres and a special keynote Prof. Dr. Doris Lewalter who will talk about her research, examining how out-of-school learning environments can support learning and motivation in secondary schools.

Together we will create a ‘burning question wall’ and discuss how can we address these questions together, especially if we’re not experienced researchers.

Part of this pre-conference is organised with The Facilitation Group. We will work together on the value of the reasearch-informed facilitator and how to include them in research and evaluation as key members of a community of practice.
