Abstract

The paper examines the utility of science and technology (S&T) indicators for the evaluation of research and development (R&D) programmes. The main objective is to contribute to improved evaluation by quantitative information not being provided by the supported institutions or persons. Thus, S&T indicators try to establish more objective sets of data and to supplement peer evaluations, but not to replace them. The contribution presents a model for the innovation process and a typology of evaluative indicators. It reviews the methodological problems of the use of indicators for the evaluation of R&D programmes. In the empirical part, three very brief case studies are presented: laser metal working R&D (European Union programme), photovoltaics (German programme) and micro-systems engineering (comparing Germany, the USA and Japan).
