Evaluation Societies
Working Group “Evaluation of Research, Technology and Innovation Policy”
Tasks and objectives
Since its founding on the occasion of the 1st annual conference of DeGEval (1998 in Cologne), the RTI working group has provided all evaluators and those interested in RTI evaluations in Germany and Austria with a platform for the exchange of experience and the development of content and methodology.
Members and interested parties
Today, the working group consists of more than 150 evaluation experts and those interested in the FTI policy field; They come from research institutes, consulting firms, funding agencies and ministries.
Activities and communication
Usually at the annual meetings of the DeGEval own sessions of the AK FTI take place. In addition, a spring meeting is organized annually (alternately in Germany and Austria). The AK also participates in cross-AK activities and is fundamentally open to such activities. At https://fti-eval.blogspot.co.at/ relatively recent articles (eg conference notes) are written.
