  1. Assessment frame for EU-MPCs S&T Cooperation Agreements (MED-SPRING, Task 9.5) Marinella GIANNELLI, CIHEAM-IAMB Claudio BOGLIOTTI, CIHEAM-IAMB

  2. Objective of the Assessment • Support the EU-MPCs bilateral dialogue under the current S&T Cooperation Agreements, mainly through the identification of common indicators for the assessment of the progress and impact of the S&T Agreements. • Harmonization of different indicators in order to frame the periodical S&T Agreements evaluations in the regional context and facilitate the comparison of strengthens and weaknesses of each bilateral cooperation relationship. • Support the development of develop a frame of common evaluation in the prospect of exploring the possibility to establish a regional agreement.

  3. Methodological Outline 1) Analysis of the current activities and achievements of bilateral S&T Agreements, based on: text of Agreements, periodical evaluation reports, main achievements of BILAT projects, existing literature on bilateral S&T cooperation in the Mediterranean region, other informal documents. • Development of a diagram of problems (building on S&T Agreement objectives, current issues at stake in the literature and critical aspects highlighted by evaluation reports) 3) Drafting of a possible intervention logic for Euro-Mediterranean bilateral S&T Cooperation. 4) Identification of an harmonized set of indicators through a comprehensive approach, using four categories (Social dimension, Economic dimension, Institutional dimension, Environmental and thematic dimension).

  6. Conclusions & Recommendations • A systematized assessment of progress of S&T bilateral cooperation in the Euro-Mediterranean region is necessary to identify strengths and weaknesses and to build up a coherent regional strategy. • The indicators proposed might be the subject of a specific joint initiative EU-MPCs, and used for a common evaluation which might be relevant both for re-orienting cooperation under existing Agreements and paving the way for a possible regional agreement. • In this context, the role of NFPs could be reinforced as pivotal actors of bilateral cooperation. • To ensure the success of bilateral cooperation it is crucial recognizing the central role played by the civil society. The involvement of the society should be guaranteed by: transparency, high quality dissemination, participation in the definition of themes/topic to be included in the research cooperation agenda.
