The mission of ICTRegie is "To increase the Dutch innovation power through ICT." ICTRegie aims to achieve this by bringing unity and consistency to the strategic direction of ICT research and innovation, as well as by structurally strengthening and revitalising the Dutch ICT knowledge infrastructure. An important principle is the collaboration between businesses and knowledge institutions, and the utilization of the developed knowledge by (potential) users.
At its establishment in 2004, the covenant partners decided that the governance body of ICTRegie would, in principle, have a temporary character. Any continuation of ICTRegie is linked to an external final evaluation. Technopolis, together with Dialogic, is conducting an evaluation study, addressing the following questions:
- Efficiency: how cost-effective were the inputs (resources) translated into outputs, and what results did this subsequently yield?
- Effectiveness: to what extent does a subsidy program contribute to its objectives?
- Usability: is the chosen program a suitable instrument to solve the outlined problem? How does the program compare to other Dutch and international programs with similar objectives? What would have happened if the program did not exist or was halted (additionality)?
- Relevance: is the problem analysis underlying the program (still) correct?
The research utilises desk research, Logical Framework Analysis (a method to clarify and visualise external relevance and program logic), environmental analysis (mapping the environment of ICTRegie), a web survey, and interviews.
