Interim Evaluation of the Direct Actions under the Euratom Research and Training Programme (2014 - 2018)
This report presents an interim evaluation of the direct actions of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission under the Euratom research and training programme (2014 - 2018), conducted halfway through the programme by a panel of high-level independent experts. The panel had extensive knowledge and experience in matters of Euratom research and the wider responsibilities of the European Commission related to nuclear safety and security in a European and an international context.
During the reporting period the JRC has shown the ability to lead through coordination, bringing together its own research efforts with those in the Member States. The JRC concentrated its nuclear work in one directorate and more in general the JRC has given successful follow up to recommendations from previous evaluations.
The European knowledge manager for nuclear safety and security; the European voice for nuclear;
Responsible for the largest single nuclear research effort of the European Atomic Energy Community, the JRC shows its frontline position in this area in all modesty. As the European Commission’s science and knowledge service, the JRC has an excellent position to communicate reliable information on nuclear matters, not only to the nuclear organisations, but also to the other stakeholders, notably the politicians and the public.
The positive conclusions and recommendations at the end of this report should help the JRC and the Commission preparing sound proposals for a Council regulation for the Euratom research and training programme 2019 - 2020 and for the next Euratom programme (2021 - 2025).
