Moderation of Policy-Making?

Science and Technology Policy Evaluation Beyond Impact Measurement—The Case of Germany

Stefan Kuhlmann

Fraunhofer Institute Systems and Innovation Research (ISI), Karlsruhe

In the field of science and technology policies, for the most part, evaluation procedures are utilized as a way of measuring the scientific and technological quality or the socio-economic impacts of publicly funded research. Beyond this practice, could evaluation procedures be used as a medium for the ‘moderation’ of struggles, controversies and negotiations in the science and technology policy arena? The present article addresses this question using the German evaluation practice—moulded by a relatively high degree of institutional differentiation and autonomy of the major policy actors—as a background. After some theoretical considerations, a case study is presented illustrating the ‘moderation approach’: a multi-annual monitoring evaluation of eight newly created, publicly funded interdisciplinary clinical research centres at German university hospitals.
