What it is for

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS Research & Insights RM6126 DPS. Brief Description of Requirement The aim of the project is to establish in what ways and to what extent the UK benefited from participating in H2020, also known as the EU R&I framework programme 9. - To audit the UK's participation in H2020 as shown in the descriptive characteristics of beneficiaries (such as geography, type of beneficiary, discipline...) and over time. Also to identify any changes pre- and post- EU exit referendum in 2016. The aim is for the audit to identify hot and cold spots of participation and funding received from H2020. - To develop and test a theory of change/logic chain of pathways through which UK involvement with H2020 generates socio-economic impacts, assessing also the extent to which these pathways to impact and impacts themselves can be described, evaluated and quantified. And the additionality and leverage raised by EU R&I programmes relative to domestic ones. - To populate the theory of change with quantitative and qualitative evidence to attribute the impacts of UK participation in H2020. - To evaluate the pathways to impact of H2020 actions applied to UK beneficiaries, highlighting where applicable interactions with national programmes e.g. synergies/obstacles with domestic resources (funders, infrastructure, advice...).
