Connecting the Dots: Efficient Preparation of Last Calls
Connecting the dots: efficient preparation of last calls 21 – 22 February 2019 Connecting the dots: efficient preparation of last calls Radisson Blu Hotel, Madrid Prado Madrid, Spain Connecting the dots: efficient preparation of last calls 21 – 22 February 2019 Madrid, Spain Outline As Interreg programmes enter the final phase of the programme cycle, the 2019 performance review is an important opportunity to check whether programmes are achieving their planned results in terms of financial absorption and key implementation steps. Gaps in some intervention areas might stand next to overachievement in other fields. This will open a strategic debate in many programmes: How can future calls for proposals contribute to the achievement of programmes’ results? What are key aspects to be considered when planning, preparing and launching last calls? What can be an efficient and effective ways for programmes to use last calls to narrow respectively close the gap between the expected and actually attained outputs? What could be leading aspects when formulating the call requirements such as capitalisation or attracting new groups of applicants or spearheading into new ideas for post-2020 etc.? We would like to discuss all these aspects with you and we will offer, to the extent possible, first-hand experience and insights when it comes to planning last calls. Objectives The core objective of the workshop is the open exchange on experiences, concerns and reflections when considering the preparation of the programme’s last calls. We would like to offer you the opportunity to discuss new approaches and good practices, in order to: prepare your final rounds in an efficient and effective way; and achieve the envisaged targets at priority and programme levels.
