Book excerpt: The Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility (PSF), set up by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) of the European Commission under the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, supports Member States and countries associated to Horizon 2020 in reforming their national science, technology and innovation systems. The aim of the PSF Specific Support for Armenia, carried out by a panel of independent European research and innovation policy experts from April 2019 to February 2020, was to assist in reforming and reinforcing the performance of the Armenian research institutions and enhancing cooperation between higher education and research institutions. Drawing on the experience of other EU and associated countries, notably the Baltic States, the PSF team developed 19 recommendations and a roadmap for their implementation covering three main topics: - A proposal for research evaluation arrangements and the launch of a first national level evaluation of publicly funded research institutions; - Design of a performance-based funding system and advice on future implementation; and - Development of a set of policy measures aimed at bridging the gap between higher education and research institutes, and notably supporting a shift towards research-based education in universities.
