Evaluations of ISED funding to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Institute for Quantum Computing report / Audit and Evaluation Branch.: Iu4-404/2021E-PDF

"The Audit and Evaluation Branch (AEB) conducted evaluations of ISED’s funding to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI) and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), as required under the Financial Administration Act. A joint evaluation approach was used to improve efficiency in evaluation resources and provide a strategic view of the research landscape in Waterloo due to the PI and the IQC's collaboration and partnership in broader research fields (e.g., quantum theory), and common outcome areas such as outreach and engagement, capacity building and training, and research advancement and application. The evaluations also adopted a results-based approach by examining the extent to which the PI and the IQC continue to individually make progress in these outcome areas, while also examining any elements of complementarity that exist between the two organizations. Although the evaluations were conducted and reported jointly, each organization was assessed independently"--Evaluation approach, page 10.
