EXIT Europe Deliverable 5.1 Scientific Framework

This document represents the Scientific Framework for EXIT Europe (Activity 5.1; D5.1), which aims to develop a structure for case studies and evidence-based criteria for internal evaluation (BMI) and external evaluation (OIIP, IRKS) of the case studies, which will be drafted by the formative evaluators in the countries and synthesised centrally by internal evaluation in WP4. The scientific framework will thus also provide an external assessment of the case studies, adding to the work of formative and internal evaluators in the operational countries and centrally – and thus further increase the validity of project results. Furthermore, the scientific framework will provide monitoring with regard to the defined data and privacy protection protocols, worked out by VUB. This task is led by OIIP. The Scientific Framework consists of IRKS, OIIP, VUB and BMI.
