Lustrum symposium 'Changing directions in foreign policies – IOB at 40: Learning for performance'

The Policy and Operations Evaluation Department (IOB) existed 40 years in 2017 and celebrated that with a lustrum symposium at 14 December 2017.

At that day, IOB was not just looking back into the past, but also looking forward to new themes. What are the challenges for Foreign Affairs? What themes or issues require further research? And what innovative research techniques are coming up?
