Strengths in Evaluation Summary Reports• Excellence

– clear objectives– pilot cases well presented– significant innovation potential– needs of stakeholders clear

• Impact– proposed impacts well described e.g. impact on market potential study– clear dissemination plan– relevant business plan– adequate IPR management

• Implementation– risks well defined and their management clear– solid consortium with complementarity expertise, good geographical coverage and

different business profiles– well detailed work package descriptions, tasks and responsibilities– Milestones and deliverables well described – resources in line with their objectives and deliverables

• Excellence– not sufficiently discussed how lessons learnt from pilot cases will be taken forward– innovation possibilities unclear– rationale behind why particular scenarios have been selected for a demonstration

is insufficiently explained

• Impact– the data and calculations on which the impact is built on is not sufficiently verified– role of the function of the IPR manager is unclear– description of possible barriers that may affect the expected impacts of the project

and proposed mitigation measures are not provided– no specific plans for the exploitation by participants have been addressed– potential to scale up and replicate the proposed solutions is not convincing

• Implementation– milestones not sufficiently described– some inconsistencies in the budget calculations e.g. subcontracting– number of milestones is too high for the size and complexity of the project
