Abstract: This report, prepared by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology in close collaboration with the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University, aimed to provide an international evaluation panel for the evaluation of the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) 2024/2025 with evidence on how WWTF's activities and instruments contribute to achieving the overall strategic objectives, specifically (i) funding of excellent projects and research, (ii) strengthening Vienna as a city of science and innovation through the emergence of new fields and approaches, (iii) contributing to the thematic and structural dynamics of the Vienna research area through bridging disciplines and facilitating interdisciplinarity, (iv) and being socially relevant. By integrating bibliometric analysis, results of a survey conducted among funding beneficiaries, insights from interviews and a focus group with different experts from the Vienna research area, the study highlights the contributions of WWTF’s activities and funding instruments to its strategic objectives.
