We’re proud to mark one year since IDEAS-NET began its funding period – and what an extraordinary year it has been.

From our official launch at The Future of Evaluation in Health and Social Care Symposium, to building a dedicated and talented team, and receiving our first National Evaluation, the past 12-months have been defined by momentum, collaboration, and ambition. Each milestone has strengthened our commitment to research excellence and set a clear direction for the impactful work ahead.

Held at The Common Room in Newcastle upon Tyne, this event provided a valuable opportunity to explore our ways of working in greater depth and to take part in an interactive workshop delivered by our co-applicants, Peter van der Graaf and Sebastian Potthoff. The workshop offered practical insights into how we can maximise our impact through the NIHR School for Public Health Research’s six knowledge-sharing principles and the Implementation Stakeholder Engagement Model (I-STEM) Toolkit, developed by Sebastian alongside fellow co-applicant Professor Tracy Finch and colleagues.
