Austrian EU Council Presidency conference on 'Impact of R&I Policy at the Crossroads of policy design, implementation evaluation'- Call for papers - Deadline prolonged to 10 June 2018

The largest conference in Europe dedicated to R&I policy evaluation invites submissions of extended abstracts and posters in four focal thematic areas. Contributions do not need to refer to only one thematic area but can be cross-cutting.

We explicitly encourage academic as well as policy and practice-based submissions. Thus, contributions from policy-makers, R&II councils, R&I funding agencies, policy experts, intermediary organisations and academics are highly appreciated! Papers and posters from other policy fields which deal with mission-orientation and impact evaluation are welcomed. The conference also encourages contributions with a view on European perspectives.

The extended abstracts and posters will be peer reviewed by the Scientific Committee. The selected abstracts are invited to make a presentation in the conference. They are also invited to submit a full paper which will be printed in a special conference proceedings issue of the ‘Journal for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation’. The submission of a full paper, however, is not mandatory and does not affect the presentation.

8 March 2018: Publication of the call for extended abstracts and posters
10 June 2018: Submission deadline
30 June 2018: Selection deadline and invitation of full papers and posters
