Abstract (english)

When conducting (programme) evaluations the focus is first of all on the intended effects that should be achieved by a funding impulse. Especially with the turn to mission orientation and transformative policies (Mazzucato 2018; Diercks et al. 2019), STI funding organisations have aligned with policy demands and have designed programmes aiming at impacts far beyond the research sector (e.g. on European level the “Green Deal Calls” in H2020, in Germany the Strategy for Research for Sustainability (FONA); The Swiss National Research Programmes (NFP) or the Swedish Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP). In recent years, the STI evaluation community has responded to the challenges posed by these new funding programmes: an intensive discussion has emerged on the nature of intended effects of research funding, leading to the development of new concepts and methods for modeling and measuring these effects.
