art √ Assessment of IP structures and problems/aspects to improve
IP and participation to EU programs IP specific self-evaluation tool for monitoring the IP office
performance
Results Deliverable D17 : Report on the evaluation of the MPC IP
Future actions

WP3 - Task 1. Actual IP structures
D17 - ASSESSMENT on the basis of a Questionnaire sent to all MPC-IP.
Main parts of the assessment:
1. General considerations based on the replies to the Questionnaires.
2. Specific comments for every IP that participated in the survey.
3. Condensed raw data from the received Questionnaires.
D17 - Assessment
Sustainability (Costs/Benefits) Financing (from Government, EC, other) Size Performance Role Missionetc. ...of IPs
Example: Among the parameters for size: The size of the scientific community of the country/its potential to
participate in the FP.
The organizational model of the IP: if everything has to be organized centrally or if a network of (national) contact points has been set up (then the central CP plays mainly a coordinating role and needs fewer but also more qualified staff.)
WP3 - Task 1. Actual IP structures
D17 - Assessment
Example: Among the performance parameters:
A1. Number of Researchers in the IP’s database. A2. Percentage (%) of the estimated country’s research community. B1. Number of events organized annually and in total. B2. Number of researchers that attended the events. C1. Number of visitors of the IP. C2. Number of visitors of the web site. C3. Number of contacts by email. D1. Number of proposals submitted to the FP from the country. D2. Number of funded proposals with that country’s participation and total amount of funding.
WP3 - Task 1. Actual IP structures
D17 - AssessmentHow IP is organized? Network of thematic CP / Network of Institutional contact
points / Only the the central CP
Staff composition: N. of persons/Category of staff/ part time or full-time/ Persons involved as evaluator during FP5/FP6?
Mission/location/financing: Informing, awareness/ Advising, training/ Providing feedback / Provide statistics? What kind of statistics?
Are there any national incentives to encourage participation to the FP? (Yes/No) If yes, explain… / Are there any other organizations in your country providing information about FP? If yes, please list them.
