Objectives
The mission of the Platform Research & Technology Policy Evaluation is to encourage more, better and more transparent evaluations for an optimal strategic planning of RTD-policy in Austria and to develop a culture of evaluation together with decision-makers in the field of Austrian technology and research policy.
Backgrounds
Founded in 1996 as an informal cooperation, the Platform Research & Technology Policy Evaluation aims at presenting approaches and methods of evaluation, discussing the current evaluation practice on an international level and thus contributing to the development of a culture of evaluation in Austria. In November 2006, its members re-founded the Platform Research & Technology Policy Evaluation as a society. Since 1 July 2012 the fteval office is hosted by ZSI.
Scope of work
International and national experts in the field of evaluation are invited to exchange ideas within the scope of our platform events and Newsletters in order to arouse growing interest among Austrian clients of evaluations and evaluators. Our central concern was to formulate and publish evaluation standards.
