Task D 3.4Report "Lessons learnt" 04/02/2014 2013-10-29/209
Tasks • Task 3.4: Lessons Learnt. Evaluation of the procedures applied in the calls with the deliverable (DL 3.4) “report on lessons-learnt from the evaluation of instruments, mechanisms and processes”. • Task 2.4: Further development and consolidation of ICT-AGRI Meta Knowledge Base with the deliverable (DL 2.5) “evaluation of the ICT-AGRI Meta Knowledge Base”
Structure of the evaluation • Evaluation followed course of action during call activities • General information about the survey participant • Strategic Research Agenda SRA • Topic selection • Call procedure and documents • Evaluation • Projects • Meta Knowledge Base
Conduct of evaluation • Sent to governing board, network management group and funders group members • Multiple choice document, with additional comments • 19 days to complete form online • Simple statistical analysis, consideration of individual concerns and comments • 24 (50%) respondents from 13 (86%) countries
Results and Conclusions Overall, there was a high degree of satisfaction Motivation to join ICT-AGRI • to give the national researchers the opportunity to cooperate with outstanding researchers in other European countries • to coordinate national research priorities and funding Benefit of joint calls 1. Increase research capacity 2. Higher quality research … 8. Opening up national programmes
Results and Conclusions Call topics • Clear description of expectations and needs • Challenges (top down) versus specific problems (bottom up)
Results and Conclusions Call procedure and documents • Call dissemination
Results and Conclusions Call procedure and documents • Documents and call office Good – very good • Time schedules Time between pre-announcement and start of projects could be shorter More time is needed for the evaluation of pre-proposals • Financing model High satisfaction with the virtual common pot model • Call budget more partners are needed
Results and Conclusions Evaluation • Two-step evaluation, requested information, expert panel, efficiency of the project selection Good – very good First step of evaluation: funders should evaluate in terms of national priorities only those proposals where institutions of their countries are involved. On the other hand, pre-selection should be also made by independent experts and not on the base of national priorities.
Results and Conclusions Projects ICT component was generally too weak More interdisciplinary work
Results and Conclusions Meta Knowledge Base MKB
