| Abstract:
My paper presents new evaluating tools to analyse the socio-economic effects of Tekes activities in parallel with Tekes impact goals. The impact goals are economic renewing, environment and well-being, and the main challenge is the fragmentation of Tekes activities towards these impact goals, which makes it laborious to evaluate. My aim is to find more suitable road-maps how Tekes funding and activities can be grouped to more controllable items. Using logic models as a method to group the steps of Tekes impact model, I emphasize several improvements by combining the Tekes impact goals and the steps of impact model (inputs and resources, activities, results, and impacts on economy and society) in order to improve evaluation quality and evaluation tools.

| Abstract:
In February 2008 the First Russian Academic Programme was adopted by the Government of the Russian Federation as a tool of public intervention in the area of science. The Programme consists of six parts including the Programme of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).
The objective of the RAS Programme is to improve effectiveness and cost-efficiency of spending the RAS budget through the application of measurable and reliable assessment. The RAS has decided to develop a verifiable evaluation system for providing assessment of the RAS Programme as a whole and of its projects. The goal of the evaluation system is acquisition of project information, on basis of which verifiable indicators should be subsequently calculated.
The main aim of this paper is to present the RAS evaluation system with embedded means of verification.
This research is funded by RFH Grant No. 09-02-00006a.
