At the request of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (in collaboration with the Ministry of Economic Affairs), Dialogic conducted a final evaluation of the Demand-Led Innovation Tool for TNO and GTIs during the period from mid-October 2010 to mid-March 2011.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation, Maxime Verhagen, has presented the final report to the House of Representatives. The evaluation shows that a significant effort was made between 2004-2010 to shape and implement the Demand-Led Innovation Tool for TNO and GTIs. For example, the tool has contributed to strengthening and maintaining a significant level of substantive demand-driven within the 12 themes. Additionally, it has led to structural and organisational changes at the knowledge institutes. However, not all objectives have been met. In particular, involvement of businesses and societal organisations has improved to a limited extent, and there is a lack of structural impact assessments. The final evaluation includes reflections on the past years as well as recommendations for the future.
