Research & Innovation

Mehdi’s studies and data collections largely focus on the assessment, limitations, impact and underlying mechanisms of interventions and measures in performance…and usually with very limited budgets.

If you are looking for guidance, assessment or help designing more robust data collections to understand the impact of performance, get in touch!
