Academy of Finland’s evaluation criteria for
applications





Scientific quality and innovativeness of the research plan
Competence of the applicant/research team
Feasibility of the research plan
Cooperation contacts for the research
Significance of the research project for the promotion of
professional careers in research and for researcher training
 Depending on the research project, the significance of the research
project is also assessed in terms of society and business and industry.
A starting point is that the project to be funded will benefit Finnish
research, society or international cooperation.
 The Academy also pays attention to that research projects aiming
at a high target level and new breakthroughs involve a risk of
failure. The aim is to be fully aware of the risks involved and,
nevertheless, to provide an opportunity for scientific
breakthroughs as well as to increase the renewal of science and
research.

 decisions on allocation of funding are taken at the regional
level
 Significant part of EU structural funds funding is used to
R&D&I-purposes
 decisions at the regional level
 Universities have certain tasks in enhancing for example
regional development
 Regional universities of applied sciences/Polytechnics
 decisions at the regional level
 Locating goverment research institutes or their functions

Evaluation and budget process
 Strong emphasis on evaluating programmes
and pojects, however:
 In the budget process evaluation results are usually
referred only at the general level (and sometimes to
legitimate proposals for additional funding)
 Examples of epressis verbis referred
evaluations:
 Evaluation results of Centre of Expertise programme
 Evaluation of Finnish Innovation system
 relates to the ongoing preparation of Finnish
Innovation Strategy

How R&D&I-policy targets are set
 As a part of performance budgeting
 As a part of performance management
 Performance management is an agreement-based
interactive control model.
 Its operational core is in the ability of the agreement parties
(ministry and agency) to find the appropriate balance
between the available resources and the results to be
attained with them.
 The basic idea of performance management is to balance
resources and targets on the one hand and efficiency and
quality on the other as well as possible and to ensure that
the desired effects are cost-efficiently achieved.
 Achievement of targets are controlled and reported as
a part of Accountability

Impacts of evaluation results
 Evaluation activities are an integral part of
funding R&D&I-operation, however:
 evaluation results seem to be under-utilized
 evaluation results seldom result to reassesment of
allocation of R&D&I-funding, specially at the level of
ministries
 evaluation results are sometimes even unuseful due to
the lack of quality of evaluation or for example due to
unclear or incomplete performance targets
 Performance audit report 157/2008 of National
Audit Office

Use of performance information in budgeting
 Different level of targets are set and examined:
 social policy targets: changes in the state of society and the
conditions of its members and the extent to which the set
targets have been achieved (social effectiveness);
 costs of achieving the social policy targets (cost
effectiveness);
 operating performance
 outputs, service capacity and the quality of outputs and
processes (outputs and quality management)
 economy, productivity and the cost effectiveness and
profitability of charged and jointly financed operations
(operational efficiency)
 personnel and job satisfaction, and information, expertise
and renewal.
Mainly
at the level of
Government
and ministries
Mainly
at the level of
agencies, e.g.
Universities
or institutes
 Above targets are set also for the R&D&I funding,
however, there is no direct mechanical link between
results achieved and allocation of funds

Preliminary conclusions, how to perform better
 Inputs are already at a relatively high level
 More emphasis on outcomes
 Significant amount of actors doesn’t necessarily mean
significant results
 New challenges (e.g. ageing or energy and climate
issues) demand adaptability from the management of
R&D&I-funding
 Systemic approach
 More weight on utilizing evaluation information in
decision making, specially at central government level
 Widening the innovation concept, more emphasis e.g.
on services and social innovations
 Adjusting the innovation process to be more demandand customer-driven (“innovating together”)
