• EVALUATION RESULTS (2)
• WEAK POINTS
• Lack of coordination between INGENIO 2010 and
  on-going measures under the pre-existing
  2004-2007 RD national plan (characterised by
  dissemination of efforts, overlapping of
  measures, weak monitoring and evaluation ).
• The new proposed Global Assessment and Monitoring
  System (SISE) is far from being fully
  operational.
• Coordination between RD and innovation policy
  and other key sectoral policies (industrial
  policy in particular) is weak.

8

• INGENIO 2010
• RECOMMENDATIONS
• Reinforce governance structures at central
  government level and improve cooperation with
  regional authorities. Reinforce involvement of
  stakeholders during policy implementation.
• Provide the Global Monitoring and Evaluation
  System (SISE) with the necessary resources and
  authority to be effective.
• Establish strong on-going and ex-post project
  evaluation mechanisms to ensure concrete outcomes
  (new products and services). Promote exchange of
  best policies and practices between
  administrations and project managers.

9

• INGENIO 2010
• RECOMMENDATIONS (2)
• Deepen regulatory reforms and adopt a new law for
  Science.
• Improve policy coordination between RD and the
  competitivity agenda (better regulation,
  entrepreneurship, competition policies ) and RD
  and the sustainable development agenda
  (transport, energy, environment, health).
