Objective
EASY-ECO 2005-2007 is a training and conference programme on evaluations in the specific context of sustainable development. The topic is important because:
(i) evaluations support institutional reforms and good governance in knowledge-based societies,
(ii) Europe is positioning itself as advocate of sustainable development and
(iii) sustainability evaluations are different from conventional evaluations and therefore require specific training opportunities.
EASY-ECO 2005-2007 consists of 3 conferences and 4 training courses. By training young researchers hands-on, the training courses address the urgent need for sustainability evaluations and support institutional capacity building. The training courses are hosted in CEE countries because the need for sustainability evaluations is most urgent there. The conferences, all hosted in Western Europe, enhance mobility between old and new member states, support the training of young researchers and aim at scientific impact.
The training courses are based on an already develop ed blueprint: In a 3-months virtual preparation phase, young researchers are selected and effectively prepared for the 10 day training phase at the location. In the training phase they go through 8 core courses and a good practice case study. Thereby, complementary skills play an important role. Individual scientific support and networking activities are continued in a 3-months virtual follow-up phase.
The 3 conferences support the training of the young researchers by providing them with an international scientific platform, framing the series of events and helping to develop the details of the training course curricula. Scientific impact can be expected from the exchange between scientists and practitioners and the in-depth coverage of a specific topic. The topics of the 3 conferences are "Evaluation as decision-making support", "Evaluation as performance assessment" and "Evaluation as learning process".
