The IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework was designed primarily to help public funders design calls, deliver effective evaluation of proposals and ensure they get suitable data from projects. Conversely, the Framework gives applicants a very clear understanding of the funders’ aspirations and requirements and can build strong communication between funder and technology developer.
In this webinar co-organised by the IEA-OES and ETIP Ocean, applicants will learn about the objectives of the Framework along with its contents and benefits to different stakeholders. The webinar will also illustrate why funders adopt the Framework, how this adoption should guide the content of applications and prospective projects, and the importance of the funder being able to access valuable technical results from those projects. The webinar will also discuss relevant tools and user experiences.
