Monitoring and Evaluation
exist is continuously monitored scientifically by the project sponsor, Jülich, and regularly evaluated by external parties. This provides empirical insight into how the programs are performing, the cost-effectiveness of their implementation, which goals are being achieved, and where funding can be further improved. The results provide an important foundation for the evidence-based further development of exist, so that startups originating from science and research can be supported in an even more targeted manner.
