Online Survey by Technopolis Group

The Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) informs that, within the framework of the continuous evaluation of its Programmes (RESTART Programmes) as well as the evaluation of the Cyprus’ participation in the European Commission’s (EC) Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe Framework Programmes, an online survey is being conducted by the consortium of Technopolis Group and Opix. The survey is addressed to specific entities selected through a specific methodology and sampling for a balanced representation of the various categories of beneficiary entities and Programmes. The survey aims to collect opinions from specific entities whose proposals have secured funding from the RIF or from the EC, as well as from specific entities whose proposals did not manage to secure funding from the RIF or from the EC.

The analysis of opinions will help to better understand the experience of beneficiary organisations during the submission of proposals stage as well as during the implementation of RESTART funded projects as well as for projects funded under the EU Horizon Framework Programmes.

The contribution of the participating organizations will play an important role in shaping the design of the future RIF Programmes for the support of Research and Innovation, as well as in enhancing Cyprus’ participation in EU Framework Programmes. A high participation rate is critical to ensuring reliable and representative evaluation results, especially given the size of the Cypriot research and innovation community.

Therefore, RiF kindly asks the entities that have received an invitation to participate in the specific online survey and have not yet done so to proceed with completing and submitting the questionnaires as soon as possible. RIF extends sincere gratitude to all the entities that have already completed the submission of the questionnaires.
