On behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (EZ), Dialogic has conducted an evaluation of the SME and Entrepreneurship Research Programme executed by Panteia. The evaluation (for the program period 2010-2013) consists of two parts. Firstly, we assessed the extent to which Panteia has conducted the Research Programme effectively and efficiently, and to what extent the recommendations from the previous evaluation have been implemented. Additionally, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has requested us to provide information on the sustainability and effectiveness of the current organization and management of the programme, as well as the quality and added value of the Research Programme for the various stakeholders. Secondly, we have looked at the pros and cons of alternative options for tendering this Research Programme, and provided recommendations for future implementation, as the Research Programme will face a budget limitation to 1.5 million euros per year from 2014 onwards.
