 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Our objective is to develop and apply a novel methodology to understand better EU research system dynamics and the European Research Council’s activities by assessing its funding schemes’ impact and outcomes. We will report on robustly measured, properly attributed impacts for: researchers (starting/advanced); the organisation of research; and science governance (national/transnational funding agencies, science policies). We have conceptualised how research communities, organisations and funders operate. Our robust, flexible methodology assumes to register impact by measurement of at least two time points and gives serious consideration to attribution issues. Our team members have international reputations in science studies, research intermediaries, science governance, organisational analysis, and methodology. We aim to: develop a framework to analyse ERC funding scheme impact(s) and interactions with existing governance regimes; develop a method to identify and attribute ERC impacts; apply this method (to test it and to collect Phase 1 data on a) researchers b) research organisations c) research funding organisations and d) the wider national/transnational science governance context); propose methodologies for discrete (panel) to assess progress towards the ERC’s desired/expected outcomes and impact; ensure our framework has a statement (and understanding) of ‘added value’; and aid ERC’s strategy (including scrutinising its objectives) in consultation with key stakeholders. Our research activities are: a ‘starting independent researchers’ survey; ‘starting independent researchers’/‘advanced investigators’ studies; host research organisation case studies; national research council (or equivalent) case studies; and ERC and EU funding landscape review. Our 9 WPs provide for in-built interactions between activities.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

An initiative to assess grants given to projects by the European Research Council will evaluate the impact and added value of this funding mechanism.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

The European Research Council (ERC) is the first European funding body set up to support the best-of-the-best scientific efforts in Europe across all fields of science and engineering. It encourages the work of independent top researchers in Europe and rewards innovative proposals, channelling funds to the most promising researchers in many fields.

It is essential for the EU to analyse the impact of such an organisation and assess its effectiveness in achieving its aims. To address this need, the EU-funded project 'Understanding and assessing the impact and outcomes of the ERC funding schemes' (Eurecia) is developing a new framework to understand better the dynamics of the European science system and the activities of the ERC.

The project is assessing the impact and outcomes of the ERC's funding schemes and their interaction with national and international governance. It will also analyse data on researchers, research organisations and funding organisations.

Once the analyses are completed, a panel of experts will discretely assess to what degree the ERC is achieving its expected outcomes and impact. The project team defines impact as 'a clearly attributable difference over time', and the team is looking for both intended objectives and unintended impact of the ERC funding schemes. In light of this, the project and involved research are being structured around three framework issues: how to measure impact, how to attribute impact and how to assess impact.

Measuring impact is challenging in science. It must draw on theories and concepts from the sociology of science and political science among other disciplines. Eurecia is developing methodology to measure the impact of the ERC funding schemes in five distinct but interrelated aspects of the science system. These are researchers, research and careers, knowledge communities, research organisations, the European funding landscape, and national funding landscapes.

Furthermore, the project incorporates two cross-cutting themes, those of science governance and science dynamics. A combination of research methods including surveys, cases studies and in-depth interviews, is being applied to achieve the project's goals.

Eurecia expects that its findings will reveal how impacts vary across different funding landscapes, organisations and research fields. This is why the study must cover universities, research organisations, research funders and researchers - stakeholders interviewed in nine European countries. Once the results are out, Europe will have a much better understanding of how this funding is helping research across the continent. It will also be able to fine-tune funding mechanisms to achieve even optimal results.
