Field Work Forum

*Please apply by January 8th so we can have accurate numbers for our catering. Note that we are limited in the number of attendees we can accommodate.

Effective charity depends on solid research. As a result, many nonprofits work to accelerate research in emerging fields. But these organizations typically focus within their own domains. Strategists working in different areas don't often compare approaches, and they have limited access to insights from scholars who study how research fields develop and succeed. This means each field may be reinventing solutions that others have already discovered.

The Field Work Forum addresses this gap. We're bringing together research strategists from different disciplines to compare notes. The Forum is itself an experiment, addressing the question of whether organizers from different fields have enough in common to benefit from the shared discussion. Hopefully, by exchanging experiences and lessons across domains, participants will learn more about what works and how to avoid common pitfalls, and build a community for those working on field-growth strategy.
