 Weaknesses in Evaluation Summary Reports
• 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
