R&D evaluation at the beginning of the new century

Abstract

The assessment of the socioeconomic impact of R&D is a crucial issue on science and technology policy. Following recent discussions in a special working group of the European Union, the main problems are sketched and then limits and opportunities are identified. Elements for ‘the way forward’ in this delicate matter are suggested. One is the application of objective, high-quality evaluation methods; a recent ‘real-life’ example, the application of an advanced bibliometric research performance evaluation and monitoring methodology, particularly designed for new, interdisciplinary, application- oriented research, is discussed.
