Research Performance and Evaluation – Empirical Results from Collaborative Research Centers and Clusters of Excellence in Germany

2014 
Collaborative research centers (CRC) and clusters of excellence (CoE) constitute public-funded programs aspiring to advance research in interdisciplinary forms of collaboration throughout Germany. Because of emerging funding volumes and increasing expectations in results, concepts for performance measurement and management gain importance. Results of an empirical study among all actively funded CRC and CoE make it obvious that key performance indicators—such as the quota of publications or the number of international visiting researchers—are central. Nevertheless, holistic methods and concepts of performance measurement seem still not to be widespread among respective speakers and chief executive officers.
