Theory of Change From a Co-Created Project

The main idea of a Theory of Change is to depict how you expect that your (research) project will induce change and invites us to think about societal effects of our research.

In the sphere of influence, you report on effects you like to induce in target groups (with which you have direct contact). In the sphere of interest, you formulate changes in society you want to contribute to - together with other actors and effects.

This is a useful tool for project design, monitoring, evaluation, and impact assessment. It can be done individually or as part of a team.
