News archive - [Event Announcement & Call for papers] Open Evaluation 2016
The largest conference in Europe dedicated to the evaluation of policies in the field of research, technology and innovation policy will gather academics, evaluators, research managers, authorities and RTI policy makers to debate challenging developments in RTI policy and their effects on evaluation theory and practice.
The conference addresses new actor settings, approaches and themes in RTI policy evaluation. Thus, the term OPEN EVALUATION signals openness towards new values, new stakeholders and beneficiaries and new approaches and themes in RTI policies and RTI evaluations.
Call for papers
The conference aims to attract papers and posters that contribute to providing theoretical concepts and practical approaches to forward next generation of STI policy evaluation designs and approaches.
