    This document provides guidance material on the monitoring and evaluation of demand-side innovation (DSI) policies. The intended audiences for this Guidebook are broad, including those designing policy (at different spatial levels, including the EU, national and regional levels), practitioners implementing programmes and policies, those commissioning monitoring and evaluation activities, and also those involved in delivering monitoring and evaluation. The Guidebook is not intended to provide detailed 'how to' instructions on the specifics of monitoring and evaluation techniques; there already exists a large body of guidance material on such aspects, and so it is not appropriate to duplicate this. Rather, the purpose of the Guidebook is to provide advice on how monitoring and evaluation should be considered in the specific context of DSI policies. As explained in Section 1 of this document, DSI policies are designed to induce innovation and/or speed up the diffusion of innovation through increasing the demand for innovation, defining new functional requirements for products and services and/or improving user involvement in innovation production. They are therefore distinct from other innovation policies (though in practice demand-side and supply-side policies could be combined within broader programmes of intervention), and this can have important implications when it comes to monitoring and evaluation. The aims of the Guidebook, therefore, are to: - provide advice on how to develop frameworks for the monitoring and evaluation of different DSI policies; - set out guidance on the key issues in determining the most appropriate evaluation design for DSI policies; - introduce the main methods and techniques that can be used for the impact and process evaluation of DSI policies; - identify the key requirements for monitoring, to assist in both process and impact evaluation.

    A wide and heterogeneous set of policies is labelled as 'demand- side innovation policy', since the definition of the concept is still controversial both in the academic literature and among practitioners. The set of possibilities ranges from regulation to various types of innovation-oriented public procurement. As a result of this heterogeneity, there have been fewer advances toward a serious empirical assessment of the impact of policies in this field than in other fields such as labour, family, education or health. One of the goals of this report is to assess existing evaluations of demand-side innovation policies to compile evidence with regard to the effectiveness of these policies and eventual best practices, with a focus on the causality of policies for the desired effects. The goal is to scan both the European Union (EU) and the most important competing economies for best and worst practices which can inform EU policy in the future, by collecting information about evaluations of existing demand-side policy measures. In the course of this exercise, based on the empirical evidence as well as current economic theory, we offer concrete suggestions on which additional demand-side policy measures may be applicable in the EU context. The primary focus of this study is complementary measures. However, we will also search for evaluations of 'conventional' demand-side measures, i.e. policies in the areas of legislation, standardisation/regulation and public procurement of innovation (including pre-commercial procurement)
