الوصف: The present evaluation focuses on the international programme portfolio of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). We assess the appropriateness of the portfolio as well as of its design and management. In addition, we trace evidence for the impact of the international programmes. The evaluation provides results that are relevant for FWF’s strategic discussions on future programme design. In order to address the evaluation questions as specified in the terms of reference, we designed a multi-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative elements: bibliometrics, altmetrics and various descriptive statistics, on the one hand; interviews, a survey and a focus group on the other. In order to assess the additionality and impact of international programme support, we used statistical matching techniques to construct a comparison group of FWF-supported stand-alone projects. FWF’s international programmes mobilise and, thus, support a segment of the Austria-based research community that is able to produce high-quality output with international colleagues. Principal investigators in international programme projects are well-established scientists, often in Professor positions and with unlimited contracts (young researchers use different programmes for international cooperation). Many of them have experience with other international cooperation support programmes and have had one or several long-term mobility experiences. However, the geographic patterns of cooperation in international programmes are different from PIs’ mobility experiences. We conclude that FWF’s international programmes contribute significantly to the internationalisation of science in Austria. Additionality to other national as well as European funding schemes is given. Particularly the thematically open funding of research projects is a unique aspect of FWF’s portfolio. International cooperation is also widely practiced in FWF-supported stand-alone projects. However, the geographies of cooperation are slightly different. Also, the intensity of the ...
