• CALL FOR TENDER:STUDY ON IMPACT OF FET RESEARCH INITIATIVES
  Call Closed 1st July 2009
  The study should create a well-founded methodology for impact assessment, that can be applied to research initiatives as set out in one of the work programmes and embodied by the projects funded in such areas. Such an assessment should establish, in particular, to what extent the funding given out by FET has resulted in technological and scientific breakthroughs, changes in the research landscape and environment, (re)structuring of scientific communities (e.g., new interdisciplinary links), and changes in national or international research programmes.
