Methodological framework for ex-post evaluation of programmes for international cooperation in research and development

Based on the specific features of programmes supporting international collaboration in research and development and foreign practices, this paper aims to propose a methodological framework for the ex-post evaluation of these programmes, which can be used as a basis for the elaboration of specific R&D programmes evaluation methodologies. The drafted framework stands on an analysis of the texts of currently implemented Czech programmes fostering R&D internationalisation, as well as foreign scientific literature and evaluation reports. The proposed framework evaluates the whole process of programmes implementation from inputs to outputs. This process is understood as a procedure by which, under the conditions set by the programme and the external environment, inputs generate outputs and impacts.
