R&D evaluation in Italy: more needs to be done

Abstract: The article analyses the R&D evaluation processes and procedures in Italian universities and public research agencies. It is argued that although recent changes introduced in the system represent a significant step forward, they are still insufficient to move from a bureaucratic to a more participatory approach. To improve the quality of R&D decision-making, it is suggested that evaluation should be carried out in a more participatory, pro-active and multi-target context. Furthermore, additional efforts should be made to promote an evaluation culture and the profession of evaluator in Italy; this would imply a significant increase of human and financial resources.
