OSDG 2.0: a multilingual tool for classifying text data by UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Despite concrete indicators and targets, monitoring the progress of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remains a challenge, given the many different actors, initiatives, and institutions involved. OSDG, an open-source classification tool aims to help navigate the SDG related ambiguities through a simple and easy to use application. The tool allows to map and connect activities to the SDGs by identifying SDG -relevant content in any text. This paper presents OSDG 2.0, a new iteration of the partnership's work, which marks a significant improvement in the tool's methodology, as well as support for content in 15 languages

Deliverable D7.1 – Policy review work methodology

One of the core goals of the OpenUP project is to provide a set of validated practical policy recommendations and implementation guidelines for EU, national and institutional policymakers on peer-review, novel dissemination and alternative research impact metrics. The recommendations will serve as a tool in supporting decision makers to advance a more open and gender-sensitive science system. This document outlines in detail the research methodology that the OpenUP project employed to provide such recommendations

Study to support the monitoring and evaluation of the framework programme for research and innovation along key impact pathways:Indicator methodology and metadata handbook

The Indicator Methodology and Metadata Handbook is one of the deliverable of the study to support the monitoring and evaluation of the Framework Programme for research and innovation along Key Impact Pathways – RTD/2019/SC/016 It presents precise definitions & detailed methodology and data sources for each of the Key Impact Pathway indicators. It is based on results of Task 1 which was about specifying and testing a full set of indicators, related methodologies for data collection and analysis, and data sources for each of the nine Key Impact Pathways ensuring data quality and reliability. The estimates for the baselines and benchmarks come from the work performed in Task 3 (linked to the Baseline and Benchmark report), while the methodology and data quality assessment are based on the work performed in Task 2 (linked to the Operationalisation plan for IT systems)

Study to support the monitoring and evaluation of the framework programme for research and innovation along key impact pathways:Operationalisation plan for IT systems

The Operationalisation plan for IT systems is one of the deliverable of the study to support the monitoring and evaluation of the Framework Programme for research and innovation along Key Impact Pathways – RTD/2019/SC/016 It presents a pragmatic approach for operationalisation of the Key Impact Pathways and related methodologies and indicators as required under task 2 of the tender specifications “Support the operationalisation of the Key Impact Pathways into Commission IT systems”. The plan presents the tasks and responsibilities needed from the Commission to integrate the changes within their IT systems. In addition, the plan includes results and lessons learned from the data pilots carried out under the study. Adaptations to the plan may be required as the operationalisation progresses and as developments and data acquisition take place

Evaluation study of the European Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation for a Resilient Europe: Final Report Phase 1:Evaluation study feeding into the Commission’s ex-post evaluation of Horizon 2020

This final report provides the results of the ‘Resilient Europe study’ implemented in the period between December 2021 and January 2023.The study was completed by a consortium consisting of PPMI Group, Prognos, VTT and Maastricht University. Using a wide range of qualitative and quantitative methods, the study covers Horizon 2020 activities that contribute to building a more resilient Europe in terms of addressing the following challenges: Societal Challenge 1; Societal Challenge 6; Societal Challenge 7. In parallel, the study also assesses four institutional partnerships, namely the AAL2, EDCTP2, IMI2 and EIT Health
