BONUS final evaluation
- ...overriding conclusion is that
BONUS has been in many ways a great success..
- BONUS was relevant....remains
relevant..
- ...small but potentially important
contribution to EU science diplomacy....
- ...BONUS has clearly made
contributions to a wide range of EU policy objectives...
http://ec.europa.eu/research/evaluations/pdf/fin al_bonus_report.pdf ?
SLIDE 12
BONUS has...
- clearly increased the level of cooperation among
researchers...had something of a structuring effect
- enhanced research capacity...and increased both the quantity
and the quality of relevant scientific output
- addressed key societal and environmental challenges
- been very efficient
- coheres well with other aspects of EU policy
- reduced fragmentation of research and made it more
integrated and interdisciplinary than before
- pulls together the available resources, provides a greater
impact from research and raises its international visibility
