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

The annex is a complementary input into the study supporting the European Commission’s (EC) ex-post evaluation of the Societal Challenges 1, 6 and 7 of the EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme Horizon 2020. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the evaluation questions listed under tender specifications (see Table 1), supplementing the syntax analysis provided in the Final Report. Under this study, the term ‘Resilient Europe’ is understood as encompassing activities that contribute to building a more resilient Europe in terms of addressing the societal challenges: 1) Societal Challenge 1 (SC1): Health, demographic change and wellbeing; 2) Societal Challenge 6: Building more innovative, inclusive, resilient societies; 3) Societal Challenge 7: More secure societies. Additionally, the answers focus on specific public-public and public-private partnerships. The document is divided according to each Societal Challenge (SC1, SC6, SC7) and organised by the Better Regulation (BR) criteria. The exception applies to the Efficiency analysis, which was complemented as one chapter for all assessed programme parts upon the agreement with the EC. The table below presents short descriptions of each of the evaluation criteria. In addition, the 2 partnership-specific evaluation criteria – additionality and transparency and openness - apply to all partnerships assessed under this study
