Evaluation of the program 'Shipping and Marine Technology for the 21st Century'

The research programme 'Shipping and Marine Technology for the 21st Century' of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research was evaluated together with Prognos AG. A central task was to develop an orientation for the redesign of a successor program directly after the evaluation, based on the evaluation results and findings. Against this background, this evaluation was closely linked to the corresponding political discussion and decision-making processes. After the collection and assessment of funding data from the past projects, an initial concept for a new program was developed through extensive expert interviews and discussed with international experts in the course of a comprehensive audit.
