Study to support the monitoring and evaluation of the framework programme for research and innovation along key impact pathways : indicator methodology and metadata handbook

The Indicator Methodology and Metadata Handbook is one of the deliverable of the study to support the monitoring and evaluation of the Framework Programme for research and innovation along Key Impact Pathways - RTD/2019/SC/016 It presents precise definitions & detailed methodology and data sources for each of the Key Impact Pathway indicators. It is based on results of Task 1 which was about specifying and testing a full set of indicators, related methodologies for data collection and analysis, and data sources for each of the nine Key Impact Pathways ensuring data quality and reliability. The estimates for the baselines and benchmarks come from the work performed in Task 3 (linked to the Baseline and Benchmark report), while the methodology and data quality assessment are based on the work performed in Task 2 (linked to the Operationalisation plan for IT systems).
