Abstract: This report sets out an evaluation framework to assess the institutional capacity of science-for-policy ecosystems across EU Member States. The report is of interest to practitioners and expert evaluators who want to assess how different organisations and actors provide and transmit knowledge individually and jointly to support evidence-informed policymaking. Using this evaluation framework will give governments and stakeholders a better understanding of what a healthy ecosystem looks like and how to improve systemic integration and learning.
