We are pleased to announce that the preliminary programme for the REvaluation 2027 conference is online.

Over the last month, our scientific and local review committee has been racking their brains over the difficult decision of reviewing and making collective decisions on who to invite to present their ideas.

On the impact of evaluations on proposed new methods and technologies. Submissions vary across epistemic fields and go from practical to academic directions, and vice versa.

Till 31 October 2026, you are able to register as an Early Bird and get 10% off your conference ticket.

To listen, experience, and discuss, visit REvaluation 2027.

On 27 March 2026, the Council for Research, Science, Innovation and Technology Development (FORWIT) and the Austrian Platform for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation (fteval) organised a joint discussion event on the topic of meta-analysis: What do we actually know about the STI-system?

Afterwards, the key takeaways are discussed in this new podcast episode (in German):
Episode 37 - Was wissen wir eigentlich über das FTI-System in Österreich?

We are delighted to announce that the fteval Journal is now a partner journal of MetaROR (MetaResearch Open Review).

MetaROR is a community-driven platform for open peer review in the field of research on research. Within the framework of the publish-review-curate model, contributions are openly reviewed. Moreover, the review reports can then be used when submitting to partner journals. As such, this makes peer-review processes more transparent and efficient.

With this partnership, the fteval Journal supports this initiative for open and transparent peer review and simultaneously strengthens international networking in the field of meta-research.
