Moreover, it can be a helpful tool for applicants who are preparing a proposal under the first call of Interreg NEXT MED Programme to make sure the project proposal is based and linked to existing results and knowledge and avoid starting from scratch. As mentioned in the guidelines for applicants for the first call for proposals, “projects should demonstrate that they build on synergies, exploiting and capitalizing on available knowledge, not just reinventing the wheel and starting from scratch but rather scaling up existing solutions and fostering their wider implementation and mainstreaming.” The importance of operational synergies is reflected in criterion 1.4 of the project evaluation grid.
