The event will focus on presentations and discussions regarding the issue of methodology for evaluations and impact assessment studies, so that results are comparable and allow for an overall synthesis giving a global view of what has been achieved with the framework programmes.

The workshop will include a presentation by the Commission of its organisation and evaluation strategy, contributions from experts in public policy evaluation, presentation of existing studies and approaches at the levels of the EU institutions, member states and stakeholders.

Under the aegis of the French Presidency of the European Union, the organisation of the event is shared by CLORA (Club des organismes français de recherche associés) and CZELO (Czech Liaison Office for Research and Development, Technology Centre AS CR), in cooperation with STOA (Science and Technology Options Assessment, European Parliament).
