articles has decreased in comparison with the previous evaluation and forms a real concern. Improvements on this point must be a high priority for the management and the committee recommends a stepwise approach in the coming period. The committee is positive about the progress made in the possible alliance with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences SLU and recommends a sensible and stepwise approach with emphasis on trust building. This alliance can strengthen the position of JTI and can improve the critical mass in specialist areas. For larger projects the committee recommends cooperation in the triangle SLU - JTI - industry (member SJMF). 10 Evaluation of JTI’s R&D Activities 2005–2008
Evaluation Process The evaluation of JTI for the period 2005 – 2008 was carried out following the guidelines (Presented by Formas, Appendix 1). The major aim of the evaluation was to specify and establish the scientific quality and relevance of the research work of JTI within the present framework programme (FP 2005 – 2008). The evaluation should be carried out in an international per spective according to the most suitable procedures, taking into con sideration the aspects and questions set out in the guide lines. The evaluation committee comprised Mrs. Caroline Trapp from Sweden and Ir. Aad Jongebreur from the Netherlands. Caroline Trapp was president of the Swedish Farmers’ Organisation (LRF) in the period 2001– 2005 and member of the board of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU, in the period 2005 – 2007. Today she is active in tourism and recreation combined with farming in Piteå. Aad Jongebreur retired from Wageningen University and Research centre in 2006 and is currently president of the European Society of Agricultural Engineers for the period 2006 – 2008. He was director of the Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering IMAG until the year 2002. In his career he has published quite a number of articles on re search strategies for Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering and also on the emission of gases from animal production. He has been a member of several international evaluation committees.
