Evaluation will be undertaken throughout the Learning Forum as well as for the follow-up activities. Structured feedback will be sought from participants, facilitators and stakeholders.

The following success criteria have been identified for this pilot proposal:

• Each participating State will discuss a common set of key principles and a universally understood language (definition of terms that relate to autonomy, accountability and governance) with other participating States that will underpin their strategies and plans for system and institutional governance of technical/engineering education
• Each State and their institutions will have identified ways in which the Learning Forum has helped to improve the governance of their technical/education sector within one year of the Learning Forum.
• Each State will have clear implementation strategies for system and institutional governance, working in partnership with their institutions, one year following the Learning Forum together with an ongoing timetable for delivery.
• Each State will be committed to share lessons learned with other States following the Learning Forum.
