PROFEEDBOOK8
In the framework of the PROFEEDBACK Action, one conference every half-year is implemented. After each conference thematic deliverables are issued, the so called PROFEEDbooks (D4.1-D4.8). They summarise the main presentations and results of the conferences.
PROFEEDbooks support multidisciplinarity, the systematisation of different methodologies and the exact transfer of know-how for the policy evaluation community. These also serve the interests of European and national policy-makers in developing the frameworks of the next programming periods and of a common European evaluation culture.
In addition, the PROFEEDbooks enrich the literature of public policy, aiming to develop theory, knowledge, method and tool base of European evaluation policy as well as a common understanding of the current problems and challenges. PROFEEDbooks support the Action in reaching audience beyond the Action members.
The 8th PROFEEDBACK Conference is hosted in collaboration with the REvaluation Conference. This event centers on advancing innovative and inclusive approaches to evaluating research, innovation, and policy, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration.
Key sessions explore topics such as responsible research assessment, transformation policies, and participatory evaluation methods. Panels and workshops address emerging trends, including the impact of AI on funding and evaluation, strategies for measuring transformative outcomes, and insights into sustainable development practices. In addition, dedicated discussions focus on advancing evaluation practices within widening countries,
supporting efforts to bridge evaluation gaps across diverse European contexts.
The conference provides a platform for in-depth dialogue and knowledge exchange, equipping evaluators and policymakers with strategies to navigate and adapt to evolving challenges in research and innovation assessments.
The event is organised in Vienna, Austria, from December 4-6, 2024.
The organisers are the Austrian Institute of Technology in collaboration with the University of Vienna.
