On behalf of the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation of the Flemish Government, Dialogic conducted an evaluation of VITO, the Flemish Institute for Technological Research. This evaluation took place in anticipation of the conclusion of the covenant period (end of 2018) between the Flemish Government and VITO. VITO focuses on five specific research themes: Sustainable Chemistry, Sustainable Energy, Sustainable Materials, Sustainable Health, and Sustainable Land Use. The evaluation assessed the extent to which the goals were achieved based on the strategic and operational objectives and indicators set in the covenant. It also examined VITO's success in securing additional assignments. The evaluation considered the policy context at the international level (particularly at the European level) as well as the broader societal and economic impact of VITO. The research also looked ahead to the period 2019-2023, in light of the upcoming covenant to be established between the Flemish Government and VITO. The evaluation took place from October 2017 to April 2018.
