Welcome to the website of the Evaluation GLOBE research project!

The Evaluation GLOBE research project is affiliated with the Department of Sociology and the academic Center for Evaluation (CEval) at Saarland University. The Evaluation GLOBE investigates the global institutionalization of evaluation. It addresses the fundamental questions of how the social evaluation function has established itself in different subsystems in a global comparative comparison – taking stock of the situation and analyzing the causes. The Evaluation GLOBE is the first research project dedicated to the subject with a systematic research approach covering all world regions.

Further details on the scientific conception and methodology of the research project can be found here.
