Report on the assessment of transnational projects funded under the M-ERA.NET Call 2019 published

The funded projects were assessed through an online questionnaire, covering assessment of scientific results, technical results, economic effects, and transnational benefits. The survey addressed 145 projects partners in 37 projects.

The report concludes that the assessed projects have a high impact at scientific and innovation level and a positive transnational effect and benefits.

The projects usually started at TRL levels between 2 and 4 and ended at TRL levels 4 to 6. In many cases the innovation-related results comprised new methods, new products, and/or new processes. The results from the assessed projects were published in more than 200 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and between 15 and 30 patent applications were submitted.

The main added value of M-ERA.NET compared to other transnational funding schemes is simpler rules and procedures and attractiveness to newcomers. 86% of the respondents would not have realised the project without M-ERA.NET. In 82% of the cases, the cooperation in the consortium will continue after the M-ERA.NET project ends.
