Data Collection: SCREEN Mapping tool
1. RIS3, strategic areas, and SWOT Analysis
2. Focus Sectors & Companies
3. Capabilities overview:
R&D, Innovation, Education capabilities

SCREEN Cross-regional value chains
Starting from the tool inputs,
local and workshops (4
international and 28 local),
several cross-regional synergies have been identified.
7
By complementing the previous maps with the outputs of
the workshops, specific descriptions of cross-regional collaborative actions and projects are derived.

Existing financial instruments
”Existing financial Instruments” have been revised
including the instruments already available in the regions
which are mapped to:
1. Further develop the emerging ideas, stemming from the
results of the previous steps within Screen.
2. Gather best practices and hints which can fuel the policy
lab, created within the project.

Laboratory on Policies (Policy Lab)
Details, working methodology and minutes of the meetings available
at http://www.screen-lab.eu/Policy-Lab.html
In the SCREEN project it was cComposed by the Participating regions and
representatives of DG REGIO, DG ENV, DG RTD, DG GROW, EASME, ERRIN, EURADA,
ACR+.
Bottom-up approach!
Physical meetings plus continuous discussion via mail
and a specific LinkedIn Group
Discussion on practices already in use in some regions,
as well as new ideas
Policy Lab is still active and can also
continue within REPLACE
12
Bottom-Up approach
• Proposal of a synergic use of regional funds (ESIF plus H2020) in a
single application (Common Pot)
• Main idea (for future application) and Pilot action for test
• Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a pilot application
(common pot) under the current programming period, through the
use of ESIF article 70
• MoU opened to other regions , http://www.screen-lab.eu/policy-
lab.html
13
SCREEN
The pot is used in Horizon Europe for
those proposals well ranked but not
financed:
2) Proposals’ partners should belong to those regions that filled-in
the pot or provide for their self-financing
1) Proposals with an evaluation score over the financing threshold
3) Money put by each region will be used to finance its regional
partners only
Each participating region puts, on a voluntary basis, a certain amount of
money, coming from structural funds, in a specific “pot”.
14
Result of a series of
discussions within the
Policy Lab
Based on the ESIF article
70
Designed to be a “Multi-
partner Seal of
Excellence” allowing
actual financing
Open to all EU regions

“The new generation of
interregional and cross-
border cooperation
(“Interreg”) programmes
will help Member States
overcome cross-border
obstacles and develop
joint services. The
Commission proposes a
new instrument for border
regions and Member
States eager to harmonise
their legal frameworks, the
European Cross-Border
Mechanism”.

NEW COHESION POLICY - http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/en/2021_2027
“Projects which, due to lack of available funding under a centrally managed
instrument, cannot be supported (notably Horizon Europe, LIFE+ or ERASMUS+),
may be picked up by the managing authority and funded under the same
conditions (including the same State aid regime) as the projects supported by the
corresponding Union instrument. For
such projects, there is no need to organise another call for proposals or a selection
process”

Assessment criteria for circular economy projects
A draft table of assessment criteria (V2.0) for circular economy issued
on January 2018
• 4th logical step of the project
• We started with 5 criteria discussed in the 2° Policy
Lab
• Several months of discussion and tests on real cases
Compliance with the indicators in the Monitoring Framework

Version 3 implemented before the end of the SCREEN
Then, further round of confrontation with DG ENV after the end of the
project (through the Policy Lab)
The current version 4.0 has now instructions for both applicants and assessors, plus a practical
example of its application allowing to compare two different circular economy projects.
