We are highly experienced in evaluation, impact reports and summative assessments. We conduct secondary research for our clients and ourselves, mainly on economic development and future drivers of change.

report

CLIENT / Cornwall Council

Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly have received substantial funding from the European Union over 20 years. We examined benefits to the county, including how well the economy has performed compared with other areas and what impact can be attributed to the EU funding. We also drew out a number of lessons for future programmes.

I would like to thank you and the team for all the hard work on the evaluation. You have provided very valuable insights, which are already shaping the remaining months of Smartline, and will help inform Smartline 2. You have all been really great to work with.

Chloe Bines, Smartline Project Coordinator, University of Exeter
