Monitoring and evaluation of the EECTI 2021-2027

The EECTI 2021-2027, as a reference framework for the preparation of the PEICTI and regional strategies, will be subject to annual monitoring and an evaluation to be carried out in two phases: an interim evaluation halfway through the term and a final evaluation one and a half years after completion.

By agreement of the Council of Ministers at the meeting held on 19 October 2021, the creation of the EECTI Monitoring Committee was approved. Its purpose is to monitor the EECTI on an annual basis, to identify the strategic areas in which Spain has strengths in the field of R&D&I, as well as proposing the adoption of the measures required to ensure adequate governance, and to collaborate in the fulfilment of the Strategy monitoring and evaluation system.

This Committee is made up of representatives of the ministerial departments and their funding agents, the Autonomous Communities, the implementers in R&D&I, both in the public and private sectors, as well as in civil society, thus including representation of the quadruple helix.

To carry out its functions, it will have the support of the SICTI Committee, which will prepare the evaluation methodology, determining the quantitative and qualitative indicators to be used to review the Strategy and to ensure that the design of the State Plans can be adapted to comply with the specific recommendations of the Country Report drawn up by the European Commission for Spain in the field of R&D&I.
