• Practical techniques for analyzing and interpreting findings

• Best practices for collaborating with research institutions to access specialized expertise

This session is ideal for professionals looking to enhance the rigor and relevance of their impact strategies through evidence-based approaches.

The webinar will be led by Giulia, a seasoned researcher and project lead at the European Center for Social Finance at Munich Business School, where she also lectures. Originally from Italy, her international academic and professional journey spans Germany, Spain, Morocco, and India.
