Question:
What is the relevance filter assessment and how will it be applied?
Answer:The quality assessment of the first call for proposals is carried out in two phases. The first phase aims at excluding from the selection process those proposals that lack relevance for the programme (relevance filter). The second phase assesses all details of the proposals (full assessment).
The relevance filter focuses on particular aspects of the strategic assessment criteria ‘relevance’ and ‘partnership’:
- Relevance and clarity of the intervention logic, notably its contribution to the targeted programme specific objective, as well as the added value of the proposed transnational cooperation approach.
- Relevance of the partnership composition including its transnationality.
Proposals not showing a sufficient quality when assessed against the above aspects of the two strategic criteria are rejected.
