Abstract Science and technology (S&T) evaluation, which plays an important role in realizing the “innovation-driven development” strategy, constitutes an indispensable component of S&T innovation systems. The substantial experience in S&T evaluations accumulated by European nations warrants systematic study and adaptation. Through a comprehensive literature review and comparative case analysis, this study systematically sorted the S&T evaluation frameworks of major European nations at both the macro- and micro-indicator levels. Their practical experiences in the innovation environment—culture, resources, and thinking—were synthesized while identifying regular patterns in evaluation metrics and methodologies. The study culminates in making four policy recommendations for an enhanced China’s S&T evaluation system: cultivate a healthy research ecosystem through standardized evaluation guidelines, develop innovative evaluation methodologies to align with emerging technological trends, align evaluation frameworks with national strategic objectives through legal institutionalization, and foster an open collaborative innovation culture to strengthen the S&T innovation momentum. The characteristic patterns and practical insights of European S&T evaluation regimes are further elucidated by providing substantive policy references for advancing China’s ongoing reform of scientific evaluation systems.
