Open Evaluation 2016, the largest conference in Europe dedicated to the evaluation of policies in the field of research, technology and innovation (RTI) policy, took place in Vienna on 24-25 November 2016. The main conference organisers were the Austrian Platform for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation, the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research and IFRIS – Institut Francilien Recherche Innovation Société, Paris. For this conference, more than 250 academics, evaluators, research managers, authorities and RTI policy makers form all five continents gathered to debate challenging developments in RTI policy and their effects on evaluation theory and practice.

Dr. Joly talked about challenges of research impact assessment for addressing Societal Challenges. Dr. Hill’s speech focued on UK’s experience in assessing research impact. Dr. Allen provided us with a reflection on the promise of open science. The panel sessions examined the question if we can generate more impact of R&I interventions through better governance, discussed the changing challenges of RTI evaluation in Europe and deliberated the problems in evaluation and selection of risky research.
