After four years of inspiring collaboration, learning, and knowledge sharing, the Profeedback COST Action coordinated by HÉTFA officially came to an end on 17 October 2025 — leaving behind a vibrant and connected community of evaluation professionals across Europe.
From the very beginning, Profeedback set out to do something ambitious: to bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from different disciplines and countries to strengthen evaluation culture and make policymaking more evidence-informed. Over the years, it grew into a real European hub for the evaluation community — a space for dialogue, exchange, and joint learning.
The Action created countless opportunities for cooperation: Working Groups, Conferences, Training Schools, peer-to-peer learning, joint publications and mobility grants gave participants hands-on experience and room for experimentation. HÉTFA Research Institute was strongly represented across several Working Groups, contributing numerous policy briefs and publications to the Action’s outcomes.
Although the formal project period has ended, members are already planning joint research and tender applications, new publications, and regular webinars to keep the exchange alive.
