| Sumario: | This paper aims at presenting the “frontiers” of policy evaluation and the related challenges faced by evaluation in the European context, more precisely as regards the evaluation of the impact of European Commission’s Science, Technology and Innovation policies. The analysis stems from recent reports and conferences organised in the field in the last three years, the bulk of the work on evaluation performed in the last 20 years in Europe, and the author’s 20 years of personal experience in the field. Different notions of frontiers are introduced to highlight the relations among the “evaluation world” and policy makers and policy making processes, STI actors and STI processes, and other social science disciplines connected to evaluation. It appears that exploitation of the diversity of approaches, stakeholders, fields of research and empirical studies represents outstanding potential for dealing with the diversity of frontiers. |
