Main findings
- The evaluation indicates the rationale for Sêr Cymru 1 was timely and proportional.
- Overall Sêr Cymru 1 has performed well, exceeding output targets at this stage.
- The effects of both the Research Stars and National Research Networks (NRNs) (two strands of Sêr Cymru 1) on early career researchers is positive. In terms of attracting researchers to Wales and enhancing their capacities, confidence, and relationships.
- It is too early to draw definitive conclusions on the ultimate success of Sêr Cymru 1. It will take time for some longer term (especially economic) outcomes to be realised.
