Dialogic is conducting an evaluation of the national program Recognising & Valuing (R&V) on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. This program aims to bring about a broad cultural change in science, where talent in all its forms is recognised and appreciated.
Purpose of the evaluation
The R&V program focuses on promoting a different way of looking at scientific achievements, where education, impact, collaboration, and leadership are central in addition to publications. The evaluation will assess the extent to which this change becomes visible in practice and what factors contribute to it. Several key questions will be addressed, such as:- To what extent has the intended cultural change been initiated?
- How effective and efficient has the national program been implemented?
- What role does the program play as a catalyst for changes within institutions?
- How does Dutch policy relate to international developments?
Approach
The analysis combines various research methods, including:- desk research on existing studies and policy documents;
- interviews with stakeholders at the national level;
- focus groups with individuals involved in the academic field; and
- an international comparison with other European countries.
