Item Description:

Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy DG REGIO intends to launch an ex post evaluation on investment projects in Research and Technological Development (RTD) infrastructures, competence centres and activities financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) during the period 2007-2013.The evaluation will take stock of the different types of interventions in respect of RTD that were co-financed by the ERDF in the 2007-2013 period and assess their rationale and the evidence of their effectiveness.The evaluation will provide an overview of the different ways in which ERDF funding for RTD has been used across the EU and will assess the results insofar as they can be identified. It will examine this in more detail in selected countries and regions, with the aim of identifying the types of intervention that have been most successful (or effective) and the factors contributing to their success.A review of the relevant literature and documents will be undertaken.
