In 2018, the Eu-SPRI Early Career Researcher Conference (ECC) was organised and hosted by CNR-IRCrES.
The theme of the conference was "Public R&D funding and evaluation: Methods, Trends and Changes".
The Eu-SPRI ECC 2018 focused on methods, trends and changes produced by the modes of R&D funding allocation, considering also the evaluation methods and practices of proposals submitted and the effects produced by the funding allocation on the beneficiaries. The Conference took place in Rome on 26-27-28 September 2018 and was structured into 5 session with a total of 20 papers presented.
