SYNERGIES AND CLUSTERING BETWEEN MARITIME PROJECTS

New ideas for a sustainable blue economy

The general aim to be achieved with this contract is to set up and develop a process for evaluating and clustering EMFF financed projects from 2016 onwards.

The service contract will manage and animate a platform for structured exchange of information, mutual learning, greater visibility and cross-fertilisation between projects funded under EMFF.

This will have as main results:

  1. a better understanding of factors that positively influence the success of projects supported by the EMFF direct management, as well as of bottlenecks (in order to inform and improve future processes for programming actions to be funded under EMFF through direct management).
  2. mutual learning to enable projects to take advantage of insights and practices from other projects, including relevant similar projects funded by other EU funding instruments (i.e. Horizon 2020, LIFE etc.);
  3. an increased visibility of EMFF projects.

A coherence panel’s outlook on EMFF projects will complement the workshops that are planned under the networking, evaluation clustering by analysing their coherence with other EU funded programmes.
