There are different types of bias that can affect the work of a MEAL/IM professional working with data. Being aware and alert can help us overcome them and avoid serious flaws in our data analysis and interpretation. During this webinar, we will go over the concept of bias and how it is linked to our work in M&E. We will also discuss ways to manage cases of bias so as to mitigate the risks. In summary, we explore: What is bias? What are the different types of biases? Why is the identification of bias important? How does bias affect data analysis and interpretation? How is bias associated with monitoring, evaluation and learning? How can we manage bias and mitigate the risks? There will also be a Q&A session.

Chair Introductions, Bo Norrving - Epidemiology, risk factors & pathophysiology, Christopher Chen - Neuroimaging and clinical implications, Simon Frandler-Höfler - Pharmacological and lifestyle interventions, Joanna Wardlaw - Q&A Discussion, moderated by Anna Bersano - Closing Remarks, World Stroke Academy

Through a series of collaborative experiments with partners, the UK Energy Research Centre’s (UKERC) Public Engagement Observatory is actively exploring how new approaches to mapping diverse forms of public engagement across systems can make a difference in practice to energy and climate-related decisions, innovations and new forms of participation. In this webinar, the Observatory team will present the findings of one such experiment that explored how the Observatory’s approach might contribute to a Citizens’ Panel on Home Energy Decarbonisation. They will then consider implications for future research and practice of deliberation, citizens’ assemblies and other forms of participation. This will be followed by a panel discussion involving reflections from the organisers (the Climate Citizens project and the Climate Change Committee) and facilitators (Shared Future) of this specific deliberative process, before opening up to wider audience questions and answers. Webinar organised by the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). Find out more about the UKERC Public Engagement Observatory: https://ukerc.ac.uk/research/observatory/

Access to climate finance is essential for a just and peaceful transition. Of countries most vulnerable to climate change, more than half are also impacted by conflict. Research shows that a very small percentage of climate finance are reaching those conflict affected and fragile states. Even within fragile states, climate finance is more likely to be spent in less fragile areas and often does not reach marginalised groups. Climate finance offers opportunities to increase resilience, reverse environmental decline and build peace. However for climate finance to support peace, it must be sufficient, reach fragile and conflict-affected states and fund projects that are conflict-sensitive and peace-positive. At the moment, it does not. Barriers such as donor risk appetite, state capacity, project compliance and bureaucratic process hinder progress in this space. While there is an increasing awareness within multilateral development banks, climate funds and national governments of these challenges, they are often approached as novel. Yet much can be learnt from the experience of the peacebuilding and development community about managing risk and designing and implementing projects in fragile settings. This panel seeks to discuss what climate funds can learn from development and peacebuilding communities as well as how they can better work together in conflict and fragile affected states to deliver effective climate finance.

RapidViews is a software publisher launching innovative solutions based on SAP HANA Technologies. We invite you to an event dedicated to BI Governance (not to be confused with Data Governance!). Indeed, Governance is an important factor that helps maximize the adoption of BI solutions and projects within companies. Most companies today have multiple reporting tools with an ever increasing number of developed HANA views. But over time, our customers all ask themselves the same questions: - How do I document my developments? - Do I have redundancy in my views? - Which CDS Views should I use for my new development? - How do I quickly find what I need to change? - How can I have a global vision of all of my reports? - How to simplify onboarding & requirements gathering meetings? If you are asking yourself any of these questions, join us on Thursday, November 16 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. for an event dedicated to BI Governance! Agenda - What is BI Governance? - Implementation key steps - RapidViews platform to manage your BI Governance - Demonstration - Use cases example - Q&A Speakers - Jérôme TOCANNE, CEO, Rapid Views - Julien DUGRIP, CTO, Rapid Views - Charles THEVENET, Presales, Rapid Views

Creating a Learning Culture is something that we all hear about and strive for, but often feel shackled by the enormity of it. Where to start? Isn’t culture something that’s designed by external consultants who get paid a crazy amount of money to write a white paper and then leave? How do we move the needle? Well – it could be that the one part where you can make the most change and shift the dial the most is in the place where all employees dread - the mandatory learning or “compliance” space. Even the word compliance hurts your soul. But it doesn’t have to be that way. By reimagining what words like compliance, mandatory, refreshers and tests could mean – you can get a twofer – kickstarting your new and improved learning culture through the learning that everyone has to do every year – COMPLIANCE.
