More information about Valérie Pattyn

Valérie Pattyn’s current research program examines the demands for knowledge and advice of policy makers, the conditions fostering and impeding evidence-informed policy making, and the politics of policy evaluation. In addition, she is involved in research projects about policy advice production and use within and outside the civil service (such as parliaments, think tanks, consultants, and political party study centers).  Method-wise, she has developed a particular interest in case-oriented and set-theoretic approaches to comparative policy analysis, and in theory-based evaluation methods.

She co-directs the ‘Power of Evidence’ Research Programme.

Valérie is co-founder and co-chair of the Permanent Study Group on Policy Design and Evaluation of the European Group for Public Administration; board member of the Flemish Evaluation Association; member of the working group on policy evaluation of Vide (beroepsvereniging voor toezichthouders, inspecteurs, handhavers en evaluatoren); and member of the advisory board of COMPASSS (COMPArative Methods for Systematic cross-caSe analysis).

She is Associate Editor for Policy Design and Practice, and is serving on the editorial boards of the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and Practice; Beleidsonderzoek Online; and Vlaams Tijdschrift voor Overheidsmanagement.  

Valérie is frequently invited to advice governments on topics as evaluation capacity building, the politics of evaluation, and evaluation methods. She is currently expert member of the Advisory Committee on Policy Evaluation of the Dutch Ministry of Finance.

Valérie is also part-time affiliated as Assistant Professor to KU Leuven Public Governance Institute (Belgium), where she teaches an MA course in policy evaluation. Prior to her appointment at Leiden University in 2015, she occupied positions as doctor-coordinator of the Policy Research Center Governmental Organisation and Decisive Government in Flanders (Steunpunt Bestuurlijke Organisatie Vlaanderen); researcher and lecturer at KU Leuven Public Governance Institute, and programme co-ordinator of the Master of European Politics and Policies at the Institute for International and European Policy at KU Leuven.

In 2014 she completed her PhD, entitled: “Policy evaluation activity unravelled. A configurational analysis of the incidence, number, locus and quality of policy evaluations in the Flemish public sector” (shortlisted for the Jaarprijs Politicologie).
