Completed Programmes

The evaluation of the following twenty EUROCORES programmes is completed:

*Duration of the research, networking and dissemination activities of the programme

The purpose of the Final Evaluation of Final Report is to assess scientific cooperation and the interactions among the investigators, and to have a look at the merits of the EUROCORES programme and the lessons there are to be learned for potential follow-up initiatives.  

To this end, CRPs are assessed on the basis of the same criteria used for selection of outline proposals:

• Novelty/Originality: Most innovative/original scientific contribution of each CRP to the EUROCORES programme and to the relevant field of research;
• Multidisciplinary Research:  How is each CRP working towards (or achieving) multidisciplinary research;
• Collaborative Research: Results obtained within the CRP during this reporting period that would not have been achieved (or would have taken longer to achieve) in an individual project;
• European-added value: European dimension given to National funding (e.g: building up ERA; developing critical mass of expertise; addressing issues of scale and scope).  For CRPs involving partners outside Europe: a clear example illustrating their added value to the programme and their contribution to the relevant field of research in Europe;
• Relevance to the Call: Achievement most relevant to the Call

The merits of the EUROCORES programme are assessed on the basis of the scientific achievements highlighted by the Project Leaders as well as the usefulness and impact of the networking, training and dissemination activities undertaken during this period.  To this end, investigators are asked to highlight the activities that proved more useful to each CRP, providing one example to illustrate each case. The balance between input and output indicate whether the CRPs have made good, optimal or insufficient use of the programme.
