EXPERTISE
Our evaluation (with ICF) assessed the impact of this €1.46 billion programme, and recommended how it could be even more focused and effective.
We interviewed nearly 100 sector stakeholders across Europe, analysed a major beneficiary survey, and undertook a range of analysis into the programme data, during a one year programme of research.
The interim evaluation of the Creative Europe Programme and the ex-post evaluation of the three predecessor programmes: Culture, MEDIA 2007 and MEDIA Mundus assesses their relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and EU added value, as well as the long term results and impact of predecessor programmes.
