The document discusses building a case for innovation in projects funded by the Flemish European Social Fund (ESF). It argues that ESF projects often lack focus on their goals and intended impacts. To improve this, the document advocates testing new instruments with intermediaries first before broader dissemination. This focuses support on developing evidence around the costs and benefits of innovations for stakeholders in the labor market. Projects should target intermediaries rather than direct beneficiaries to build evidence that new training methods can improve services for job seekers.
The document discusses building a case for innovation in projects funded by the Flemish European Social Fund (ESF). It argues that ESF projects often lack focus on their goals and intended impacts. It proposes a new logic for ESF-funded innovation projects that tests instruments with intermediaries first before broader dissemination, in order to evaluate business cases and impacts more rigorously. This new approach aims to improve how projects contribute to employment goals and policy objectives.

The document discusses using a Policy Delphi method for research aimed at informing policy. It describes the Policy Delphi as involving multiple rounds of consultation with stakeholders to build consensus around a policy issue.

Subsequent rounds allow refining the research question and methods based on stakeholder input and analysis between rounds. The goal is to overcome issues like unavailable or expensive information, subjectivity, and anonymity that can arise in other research methods for policy.
