At the request of the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science (in cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Affairs), Dialogic conducted a final evaluation of the TNO and GTI Demand-oriented Instrument for innovation & interaction from mid-October 2010 to mid-March 2011.
Minister of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation, Maxime Verhagen, has now presented the final report to the House of Representatives. The evaluation shows that a significant effort was made between 2004 and 2010 to shape and implement the Demand-oriented Instrument for TNO and GTIs. For example, the evaluation reveals that the Demand-oriented Instrument has contributed to strengthening and achieving a substantial level of substantive demand orientation within the 12 themes. Additionally, the Demand-oriented Instrument has resulted in structural and organizational changes within the knowledge institutes. However, not all objectives have been achieved. For instance, involvement of businesses and societal organizations has only improved to a limited extent and there is a lack of structural impact measurements. In addition to reflecting on the past years, the final evaluation also provides recommendations for the future.
