CASCADE in appreciated evaluation

CASCADE is one of the Networks of Excellence (NoEs) to be reviewed in an evaluation process initiated by DG Research.

 

The aim is to evaluate the impact of the Networks of Excellence funded under the two first calls in FP6 for the theme “Food quality and safety”. The revision will be concluded in an “interim report” planned to be finished during September 2008. This report will be used to priority between research projects in FOOD.

 

In addition, CASCADE is one of the NoEs invited to provide inputs to the NoE Expert Group. The NoE Expert Group is performing an extensive evaluation of the networks as instruments to strengthen Europe’s scientific impact. This review was prompted by CASCADE, via the “Support research NoEs” campaign.

 

CASCADE very much welcome these reviews as opportunities to show what a durable, well-structured and innovative network CASCADE is, but also as an option for us to further strengthen and

deepen our network.
