Abstract
The Directorate General for Regional Policy of the European Commission asked a consortium of Technopolis Group and the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research to assess the state of the art of methodological practices for the evaluation of innovation support, to analyse 15 evaluations of different types of ERDF co-funded measures, and to produce a methodological guide.This guide is intended primarily for managers of ERDF programmes and those in charge of their evaluation. It is intended for an informed reader, familiar with innovation issues. It highlights the main questions to ask before developing technical specifications, and examines the pitfalls to be avoided, the advantages and limitations of certain methods, and the necessary conditions for a quality evaluation.
