Workshops are used to explore a specific topic, to transfer knowledge, to solve identified problems, or to create something new. In funded research projects and other research endeavours, workshops are the mechanism used to gather the wider project, community, or interested people together around a particular topic. However, natural questions arise: how do we measure the impact of these workshops? Do we know whether they are meeting the goals and objectives we set for them? What indicators should we use? In response to these questions, this paper will outline rules that will improve the measurement of the impact of workshops.
研讨会用于探索特定主题、传递知识、解决已确定的问题或创造新事物。在资助的研究项目和其他研究工作中,研讨会是将更广泛的项目、社区或有兴趣的人聚集在一起讨论特定主题的机制。然而,自然会出现一些问题:我们如何衡量这些研讨会的影响?我们是否知道它们是否达到了我们为它们设定的目标和目的?我们应该使用哪些指标?针对这些问题,本文将概述改进研讨会影响衡量的规则。
