Abstract
Impact assessment of R&D is currently facing important
challenges. First, the nature of innovation as well as
the scope of innovation policy are transforming in a way
that has not been taken into account in evaluation
practices. At the same time, innovation policy is
transforming into an expanding, horizontal and
network-based policy field which calls for broader
approaches in evaluation.
The paper introduces a systemic and future-oriented
evaluation framework for strategic management of public
R&D programmes. The framework is an integrating method
designed to meet the challenges of the changing
innovation environment and evaluation standards. The
introduced future-oriented impact assessment framework
will provide insight on how to combine different R&D
evaluation methods in order to support strategic steering
of public R&D funding policies. The paper is hoped to
benefit R&D evaluation researchers, as well as, programme
managers and R&D evaluation practitioners.
