The final Workshop of the Forum was organised on 6-7 December 2012 in Bonn, Germany. It was kindly hosted by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
The aim of the conference was to discuss key issues and challenges in the practical implementation of Research Evaluation.
The workshop main objectives were:
- To offer a platform for ESF MOs who are evaluating their funding schemes to learn from existing experiences.
- To define and communicate common standards.
- To establish a discussion with practitioners.
- To take the discussion to a broader (global) audience.
- To encourage uptake of the recommendations developed in the ESF MO Forum on Evaluation of Publicly Funded Research and the MO Forum on Indicators of Internationalisation by other organisations and by the “width” of the MOs and to find ways to implement them.
- To encourage a follow-up and future collaboration.
