JERRI – Joining Efforts for Responsible Research and Innovation. Deliverable D8.1. Monitoring and evaluation concept

JERRI Deliverable D8.1 describes the monitoring and evaluation concept which will be used in implementing JERRI WP8 “Monitoring”. The monitoring and evaluation concept outlined in this deliverable has been developed in dialogue with the main involved actors at FhG and TNO. In the process of designing the monitoring and evaluation concept outlined, they had several opportunities to suggest improvements and modifications. A first draft design was shared with the consortium in M2 as well as presented and discussed at the official kick-off meeting in September 2016. In several telephone conferences the monitoring and evaluation approach was further discussed and aligned to the organisational contexts and limitations of FhG and TNO as well as the JERRI project architecture.
D8.1 builds on the description of work and further develops and details the purpose, objectives, approaches, methods, and working processes of the monitoring and evaluation activities. Several changes have been necessary in order to further align the monitoring and evaluation processes to the situations at and organisational frameworks of FhG and TNO, e.g. language barriers, the handling of sensitive matters, or the access to certain groups within the organisations. Furthermore, the final design considers the organisational structures of these Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) stronger. The deliverable addresses and justifies the modifications of aspects outlined in the JERRI project proposal.
