Monitoring the impact of EU Framework Programmes : expert report

This report combines inputs from three experts on monitoring the impact of the European Framework Programme for research and innovation. This work is largely based on literature review and lessons learned from relevant practices worldwide as regards the tracking of scientific, societal and economic impact from research and innovation investments. These inputs informed the European Commission proposal for the monitoring and evaluation system of Horizon Europe, the ninth European Framework Programme (FP) for research and innovation, where the introduction of Key impact pathways, and related key impact pathway indicators should allow a better tracking of progress towards the programme objectives over time.
