Abstract

This article offers new evaluation tools to analyse skilled behaviour effects of Tekes funding for research institutes and universities. Using data from surveys of organizations funded in the early 2000s, the benefits of Tekes' contribution to developing proposals and project funding are examined in terms of pre-project and post-project additionality. We emphasize several improvements in order to find more versatile evaluation tools by combining evaluation results, additionality theory and talented behaviour theory. Comparing these linkages we can interconnect new causalities between additionality theory and development of practical skills of Tekes clients. We found that scale and scope additionality methods were mostly used in the pre-project evaluation. Moreover, evaluating talented behaviour needs more specific evaluation methods to recognize such skills in the research projects. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
