No. 52 (2021): Issue #52 – Practice Edition
This issue of the fteval Journal for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation, which is thematically open and essentially emphasises inputs from practice. Several contributions reflect the work of the authors "in the field" and share the experiences gained. We have for instance a contribution that presents lessons learned in the evaluation of a transition-oriented funding framework programme, while another contribution reflects on the impact of Austria’s Research Financing Act on evaluation.
A special feature of this issue are three articles dealing with the social impact of RTI policy measures. They are the results of working groups initiated by fteval, which in recent months have intensively discussed and elaborated potential impact paths in three thematic areas: the impact of R&I and R&I policy on (i) social innovations, (ii) on sustainable economic activity and (iii) on the relationship between science and society. Consideration was also given to how these areas impact back on R&I policy.
