Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the Crown Commercial Service - RM6126 Research & Insights DPS. Brief Description of Requirement The aim of this evaluation is to generate evidence of the domestic impacts of the UK's Association to HEU, as well as improve our understanding of the barriers and enablers to UK participation. This latter aim will feed immediate lessons learnt into active policy decisions, such as improving applicant support and which boosting participation interventions to fund. The evaluation will seek to address the added value of Horizon Association, which will provide crucial internal evidence for any potential future negotiations with the EU on association to successor programmes. The evaluation will publish accessible reports, covering analysis of UK performance, emerging outcomes and impacts, and recommendations to be shared in the R&I landscape.
