UIA Question: Is my project innovative?
ECORIS3 provides for a wide range of good practice on innovation ecosystems, allowing to compare the proposed initiative. Thus, it also allows for a benchmark (or a baseline)
ECORIS3 good practice was submitted to a pool of experts that decided if the good practice was really innovative and unique – therefore establishing a method to measure, test and improve initiatives.
UIA Question: Is the proposed partnership relevant?
ECORIS3 examined how the 4 dimensions can influence and improve an innovation ecosystem: public sector, private sector, academia and civil society. It also analyzed how to remove barriers to co-development, how to increase collaboration and how to identify obstacles and avoid silos.
Moreover, each territory of the project developed an Action Plan where all stakeholders are involved since the beginning, both the agents that seem evident and those not so obvious, who can also foster an action from a different sector.

UIA Question: Are the proposed project and its expected results measurable?
Every good practice submitted by the project was accompanied by a range of indicators that may serve as examples to identify and quantify outputs and results.
Action Plans of ECORIS3 also define target groups. Moreover those plans should forecast a monitoring and evaluation system.
UIA Question: Is the proposed action transferable?
That is the main goal of ECORIS3! Finding solutions that can be used all over Europe, without loosing sight of territorial realities.
