Abstract
Large-scale conferences should be seen as a means to a clear objective rather than as an end in itself. This report outlines contributing factors to the success of large-scale conferences as well as lessons learned. For instance, the type of engagement should allow IDRC to develop clear objectives for participation and develop a strategic niche in the conference—both for the IDRC and for research partners. This detailed paper provides insight into overall learnings from eight conferences examined in this study. The nature of the Centre’s involvement ranges from being the donor, advisor, organizer, initiator, participant, observer, or a combination of these.
