Evaluation and selection criteria
for Project Outlines and Full Project Proposals
ITEA 2 Project Outlines and Full Project Proposals will be evaluated and selected according to the following criteria:
- Relevance to the ITEA 2 domains and core technologies (see technical content)
- Technical state-of-the-art
- is the technical state-of-the-art (including technical background) adequately described?
- Does the proposal document how the project relates to and/or builds on results of, and differentiates from, other (completed or running) cooperative projects ?
- For projects having software- or system-engineering related activities: Is it planned to, in the course of the project, update/extend the software- or system-engineering related state-of-the art provided in the FPP and to make it a Public Deliverable?
- Market relevance (market state-of-the-art)
- Is there an adequate “Market Analysis” section (including competitors description)?
- Are the market opportunities clearly documented for each partner?
- Applicative innovation and achievements
- Is the project innovative enough, and is this innovation adequately described?
-
Are the objectives of software- or system-engineering related activities clearly quantified and is it explained how results will be measured?
- Are the concrete final results clearly described?
- Exploitation and dissemination
- Is there an adequate description of the exploitation perspectives and dissemination (publications and standardisation)?
-
Are the management expectations from and involvement with software- or system-engineering related activities clearly described for the companies that are not software tool vendors?

-
For projects having software- or system-engineering related activities: Are software tool vendors participating; if not, is it justified?
