Interim Evaluation of aws Technology Programes

Year: 2006
Title: Interim Evaluation of aws Technology Programes
Client: Austrian Federal Ministry of Economics and Labour (bmwa)
Evaluator: Technopolis: Leonhard Jörg; Joanneum Research: Andreas Schibany, Brigitte Nones, Helmut Gassler
Contents: BMWA has authorized Technopolis and Joanneum Research to carry out an interim evaluation of several technology programs which are supported by the Austria Wirtschaftsservice (aws). The conceptual formulation of this evaluation goes beyond a normal program evaluation. To begin with, the expediency, efficiency, and the achievement of objectives on the level of individ-ual programs had to be controlled. Based on the results drawn from this inspection, the actual challenge was to critically rate the arrangements’ portfolio, which goes beyond the program lim-its. It has to be considered, though, that this interim evaluation merely covers a segment of the entire aws portfolio. Cross links to the amplified aws protfolio were – if possible – prepared ba-sed on the programs listed here. However, this does not substitute for a comprehensive review of the complete aws portfolio. Thus, the suggestions for further development given here have to be reconsidered within the aws’ overall context.

Title: Expertise on STRAPAMO – Strategic R&T Partnerships with Central and Eastern Europe
Client: Federal Ministry for Economics and Labour (bmwa), Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG)
Evaluator: ZSI: Sanna Harringer, Andrea Christiane Mayr, Klaus Schuch
Contents: STRAPAMO was a pilot action initiated by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Labour to strengthen research and technological co-operations between Austrian companies and companies in Central and Eastern Europe. A call for proposal has been launched in 2003. 21 projects have been submitted, out of which 12 received funding. The project lasted between 12 and 18 months and started in the fourth quarter of 2003. Intermediary organisations (such as cluster management, technology parks etc.) played an important role in establishing and developing the transnational company networks. The results of the STRAPAMO exercise have considerably shaped the structure of its successor programme CIR-CE.

Participatory Policy-Consulting – The Case of the Citizen-Conference 2003

Year: 2004
Title: Participatory Policy-Consulting – The Case of the Citizen-Conference 2003
Client: Austrian Council for Research and Technology Development
Evaluator: Alexander Bogner (ITA), Harald Puchrucker, René Zimmer
Contents: The Austrian Citizen’s Conference "Genetic data, from where, whereto, what for?” was arranged by the PR agency communication matters from 20 to 23 June 2003 in Vienna. It was part of the Public Awareness Campaign on behalf of the Austrian Council for Research and Technology Development on the subject matter of innovation. Despite some delays and economic shortages, evidence was provided that this participative procedure can also be carried out in Austria. The institutional context of this project has proven dissatisfactory since potential actors certify the Austrian Citizen’s Conference as lacking credibility. But the organizers have resolved reservations with presenting a concrete form of procedure. As for the scientific counseling, a team of nature- and social scientists has been called in. However, no clear objective has yet been developed for this Citizen’s Conference. The procedure has especially been carried out from the pragmatic aspect of a smooth development.
