Ex-post Evaluation of the direct actions of the Joint Research Centre under the Seventh Framework Programmes 2007-2013

Between November 2014 and June 2015 a panel of external experts conducted the ex-post evaluation of the JRC’s direct actions under the Seventh EC and Euratom Framework Programmes (FP7, 2007-2013). The evaluation report which follows presents the Panel’s observations and comments together with a number of key recommendations and suggestions. While the panel could rarely address individual research actions, it has managed to come to a balanced assessment of the overall activities during the reporting period and an outlook for further improvement of the organisation.
