Univation
Univation is primarily specialised in carrying out evaluations, evaluation research as well as training and consulting in the field of evaluation. The institute is a spin-off from the University of Cologne and follows its "Centre for Evaluation of educational and social services" (1995-1999). From the beginning Univation has combined activities in the field of evaluation theory, practice and training. The wide range of methods and its multidisciplinary orientation are characteristic of the institute. In addition, its members were involved in the foundation of the German Evaluation Society (DeGEval). Univation also plays an active role in the DeGEval and the European Evaluation Society (EES).
