Programme Evaluation
An independent evaluation of the programme highlights that there is good evidence of impact and sustainability in most of the UKIERI collaborations and the initiative has contributed effectively to the development of significant and strategic programmes that benefit the society.
UKIERI, as a programme, has been flexible and has evolved according to experience gained during its implementation and the changing needs of both countries. This has been possible through constant consultation processes with the representatives of the UK and Indian sectors and through evaluation of feedback from related bodies & organisations. About 90 % of the participants agreed that the UKIERI funding had enabled them to undertake research, develop links and experience approaches to work and study that would otherwise not be possible.
