PrEval

Those interested can find practical guidance, among other sources, in the PrEval consultation series “Evaluation and Quality Management,” whose supporting materials are available for free download on the PrEval website.

The PrEval platform, which was developed by the PrEval team at the IKG Bielefeld and is updated with data from the PrEval projects, offers insights into evaluation structures and capacities in Germany.

An overview of the pilot studies conducted as part of PrEval in the areas of civic education and secondary and tertiary prevention, their findings, and the evaluation tools developed or refined as a result can be found in the PrEval Studies (2022–2025) and in the ten-part PrEval Report Series (2020–2022).

Numerous PrEval Expertisen and the accompanying policy briefs (2022–2025) also provide an overview of the current challenges in international evaluation and evaluation research—whether it involves self-evaluation, working with mixed methods, or artificial intelligence (AI).

The key findings and recommendations of the PrEval network for evaluation practice, academia, and policymakers are compiled in the two issues of the PrEval Monitor, which is available for free download on the PrEval website.

The follow-up project, PrEval – Future Workshops, was funded by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) and ran from October 2022 to December 2025.
