Work Package 3: Evaluation

Key activities

• Developing and implementing an evaluation framework for the JA EUnetCCC and EU network of CCCs: Create and implement an evaluation framework in collaboration with coordinators and WP leaders. This framework includes four tracks covering KPIs & monitoring, process & output evaluation, outcome & impact evaluation and learning, feedback & dissemination. WP3 will develop and maintain a dashboard to provide stakeholders with evaluation data.
• Managing data collection and analysis: Collect data including KPIs, satisfaction surveys, co-creation workshops, and interviews, and will also explore evaluation data produced by other WPs. Indicators to measure the impact of JA are developed. Data will be analysed to provide feedback, track progress, offer insights to guide strategic planning, identify areas requiring enhancement, and assess the project's effectiveness.
• Regular reporting and management of dashboards: Publish an evaluation report each year to present key findings and suggestions. Relevant indicators will be available on the dashboard, which will be maintained and updated to keep stakeholders well informed.
• Publishing and disseminating evaluation results: Formulate actionable recommendations for future strategies to improve the effectiveness of the EU network of CCCs based on evaluation insights. Key insights will also be published in scientific journals.

Expected outcomes

WP3 will address initial challenges, share lessons learned, highlight areas that may require further attention or strategic adjustments, and ultimately contribute to ensuring transparency across the consortium. Furthermore, the ambition is that evaluation results will provide valuable insights into the specific outcomes and overall impact of the JA. This will not only benefit the consortium, stakeholders, and CCCs by providing insights into the process and results of the project but is also valuable to other JAs as best practice.

Contribution to the Joint Action

WP3 will help ensure the overall quality and monitor the outcomes and impact of the JA. WP3 will also support the other WPs in their evaluation efforts, providing insights and feedback for improvement to enhance the effectiveness and success of the project.
