Title: The catalytic effects of EC RTD evaluation activities on trans-European co-operation
Abstract: The European Commission's RTD programme evaluation efforts have had multiple catalytic effects on evaluation in Europe and beyond through several initiatives: (i) regularly evaluating one of the world's largest and most complex research programmes; (ii) bringing together many European experts; (iii) supporting studies in methods; and (iv) aiding a structured dialogue with European and other evaluation experts (including in the US [NSF] and Japan [STA]). The Commission has helped create, partly through the European RTD Evaluation Network, a European evaluation community. It supported the exchange of good practice and discussion on methods. All this has helped train a generation of evaluators, and demand for evaluation expertise led to university courses being offered. The European Research Area idea poses new challenges.
