Scope
Proposals for capitalisation initiatives should stem from a well performing and successful project, with solid results to showcase. They should build on existing results (foreseen or unforeseen) that have a strong potential for further uptake and roll-out throughout NWE - and potentially in the rest of the EU.
Based on successful project results, three main directions can be taken by capitalisation initiatives:
- new geographical areas within NWE
- new type of target group/type of stakeholders
- new economic sector
Please refer to the Terms of Reference to find all specific details.
Partnership
In order to better achieve their results and impact, existing project partnerships can be adapted or modified.
Projects are encouraged to include new partners in order to better reach the relevant territories, target audiences or economic sectors aimed for. These new partners will need to show how they can add value with their skills and knowledge, to leverage the project results obtained so far and enhance territorial impact in NWE.
New partners can come from other projects funded by the NWE programme or from other ETC programmes, thus creating synergies between existing territorial cooperation projects. They can also be stakeholders involved in other EU programmes (e.g. regional ERDF / ESF, H2020, LIFE…) or not involved in any EU project.
