A certification of those fan projects has been launched in 2010. Offering fan projects an instrument of quality control, the certification is intended to pursue multiple goals: Establishing a common standard for fan projects, increasing confidence in the work of fan projects, and improving the working context of fan projects. The certificate is awarded on the basis of a recommendation by the Quality Management Group of the Centre for Fan Project Coordination of the German Sports Youth (German: Koordinationsstelle Fanprojekte bei der Deutschen Sportjugend). The Quality Management Group includes representatives from soccer, the highest state and family authorities, science, and fan projects themselves. After the certification was revised and tested by CEval GmbH in two previous projects and subsequently rolled out nationwide by collecting the information required for the certification in all fan projects, CEval GmbH has now been commissioned with the data collection for the third phase of the certification process for the current 71 fan projects.

Therefore, the foundation maintains 11 institutes located around the world, which have a bridging function between the host countries and Germany. The institutes abroad play a particularly important role in the professional development and support of young academics in an international and interdisciplinary environment.
CEval GmbH has been contracted by the MWS to carry out a tracer study. The study analyzed the professional careers of former employees who worked at one of the MWS's institutes abroad in a qualification position or a long-term scholarship and who left between 2005 and 2022. The aim of the study was to evaluate the success and, thus, the competitiveness of the promotion of young academics at the institutes and to derive recommendations for optimizing the foundation's future funding activities on this basis.
The tracer study followed a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative instruments for data collection and analysis. An online survey, semi-structured interviews and a secondary data analysis were applied. The study was implemented remotely.

To [Read More]The Hans Böckler Foundation (HBS) awards scholarships to secondary school leavers, artists and students as well as to doctoral candidates in all academic fields. To obtain a scholarship, applicants go through a multi-stage and meanwhile digitalized admission procedure in which their appropriateness is assessed on the basis of a series of criteria. CEval GmbH was commissioned by the HBS to evaluate the application procedures. In particular, the CEval GmbH examines the appropriateness, purposefulness and efficiency of the procedures as well as the fairness and comprehensibility of the test criteria.
Therefore, the CEval team orientates itself on the OECD-DAC criteria (relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, sustainability), which are used to systematically develop an analytical matrix. The evaluation follows a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative instruments for data collection and analysis. Semi-structured guided interviews, qualitative short interviews, an online survey and a secondary data analysis will be applied.

In 2021, the city council of the state capital Saarbrücken decided to introduce the newsletter of the state capital Saarbrücken. The newsletter contains information on public announcements and tenders as well as other information from the administration. The newsletter is distributed free of charge to all accessible households (approx. 90,000) in the city of Saarbrücken.
The publication of the newsletter had been evaluated two years after its introduction. Among other things, it had been examined how well known the newsletter is among the citizens, whether the newsletter reaches the citizens' households and by which means (print or online edition) this is done. For this purpose, about 800 citizens living in the city of Saarbrücken had been interviewed in short personal surveys in pedestrian zones and other busy places in various parts of Saarbrücken.
