Abstract (english)
APPEAR is a programme that aims to strengthen the scientific and institutional capacities in higher education, research, and management in the Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) priority countries.1 APPEAR is implemented by the OeAD (APPEAR office) under a service contract of the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and supported by an independent Selection board and an Advisory board support. The programme promotes long-lasting higher education partnerships between Austrian and priority countries universities. As a ‘research for development’ initiative, it has a much wider scope and objective than classical higher education partnerships that focus solely on scientific excellence. APPEAR’s goal is to support a sustainable and peaceful development through continuous academic cooperation. The initial programme was extended for two further phases. In the first two programme phases (APPEAR I, II) 43 projects and 64 preparatory funding projects were funded, and 156 scholarship holders completed their degree.5 Both programme phases have been thoroughly evaluated on the project level (2018) and the programme level (2013, 2019). The programme is now in its third phase, which started in late 2020 and will be running until 2027. The present project evaluation is the first evaluation of APPEAR III and focuses on the 15 of the 22 ongoing projects. A further evaluation in 2026 will evaluate the programme itself and explore a potential extension of the programme, building on the findings and recommendations of this study.
