We are hugely excited to say that the 2016 Psychology and Policy Lecture Series begins tonight with Dr Agnieszka Walczak of Cambridge Assessment. You may know CA as the people that give the English exams, but as you’ll see from Dr Walczak’s topic, they do a lot more than this.

Assessment & international development – Five stories from around the world

Dr Walczak is currently a Senior Research Manager at Cambridge Assessment. Agnieszka holds a PhD in Quantitative Data Analysis (Social Sciences) from the University of Amsterdam. She provides expertise in quantitative and qualitative research methods for benchmarking and impact assessment projects for governmental and corporate sectors worldwide. Prior to joining Cambridge Assessment, Agnieszka worked as an analyst at RAND Corporation (European office) where she managed projects commissioned by European institutions and national ministries in the EU.

The talk will be held at 18.30 in the main lecture theatre at the Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge.
