Advances Quantitative Methods for the Evaluation of the Performance of Public Sector Research - Phase 2.

The project is the continuation of the AQUAMETH project (2004-2005), that has delivered an integrated dataset across six European countries: Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK; a series of papers; and a forthcoming book (2006).


The scientific objectives of the AQUAMEHT - phase 2 project are:


a) consolidating and expanding the AQUAMETH methodology and dataset to new countries: Germany, Netherlands, Hungary and France;


b) exploring new issues using the integrated AQUAMETH dataset, in particular:

Policies for Research and Innovation in the Move towards The European Research Area - PRIME. (AQUAMETHPSR) Advanced Quantitative Methods To Evaluate The Performance of Public Sector Research.

This project aims at exploring and exploiting the potential of advanced quantitative methods for evaluating the performance of Public Sector Research (PSR). Analysing in particular the system of universities, this is an exploratory project based on the availability of national data at the micro level (university or department) that include at least a minimum set of inputs and outputs. Among the inputs we consider mainly: number of personnel by category (research, technical, administrative);(possibly) number of research personnel by type; funding.
