Monitoring and evaluation of the 2024 National Science Week

The 2024 National Science Week (NSW), conducted from 30th September to 7th October under the theme "Living in a high-tech world: should we be concerned?", marked a significant shift in the implementation format. For the first time, the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI) adopted an unfunded model, inviting organisations to conduct activities at their own cost rather than providing direct financial support. This evaluation, led by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), assessed the effectiveness of this approach across multiple dimensions, including participant experiences, organizational reflections, and communication strategies.
