7. LdV valorisation Overview
LdV I ( ): not mentioned
LdV II ( ): mentioned but
-ex-post ( ) for LdVI projects
-ex-ante (voluntary basis ) LdV II projects
-ex-ante compulsory ( ) LdV II projects

8. Ex-ante and Compulsory For all programmes (not only LdV)
Post 2006:
VALORISATION =
Ex-ante and Compulsory
For all programmes (not only LdV)

9. Valorisation: LdV
Valorisation “post-mortem” of LdV I projects
Difficult since most projects results :
Out moded
Lack of user friendliness
Not in line with users’needs

10. Valorisation LdV 2003- 2004 (1) Building on Thematic Monitoring
Launched in 2002 for Exchange of experience between promoters
Since 2003: introduction of ex-ante valorisation on a voluntary basis (600 projects/1000)

11. Valorisation: LdV 2003-2004 (2) Each running project:
To introduce focus on needs of end-users/ target groups
To involve “prescriptors” and decision makers
To elaborate a valorisation plan
To foresee piloting/experimentation

12. Valorisation: Ldv (3)
Thematic Monitoring (ex-ante valorisation)
Valorisation Conferences (2 x €) in 2004 (running or finished projects)
Transfer of Innovation ( €) in 2004

13. Thematic Monitoring (1)
To promote synergies between project actors
To develop exchanges of experience
To improve quality and impact at individual project level
To gain a better overview of project content
To increase global impact at programme level
To strenghten the networking between projects, practitioners and decision makers

14. Thematic Monitoring (2)
: 5 thematic groups were identified:
Integration into the Labour Market
Development of skills within SMEs
Adaptation of the training supply and new training methods (quality in training)
Transparency, assessment and validation of knowledge
E-Learning

15. Thematic Monitoring (3)
Sectoral approach:
To be implemented in 2004

16. Thematic Monitoring (4) National Agencies
5 “lead agencies” in 2003
Thematic Monitoring : open to all Agencies
Agencies= expertise from the ground
NB: All agencies expected to promote ex-ante valorisation in all their projects

17. Thematic Monitoring (5) All National Agencies =
Essential contribution
Expertise
Synergie

18. Thematic Monitoring (6)
Thematic Seminars: in Brussels for cost-effectiveness (5/7/04 – 17/9/04 – 28/10/04 – 8/11/04 – 26/11/04 – 3/12/04)
Bringing together project promoters belonging to the same thematic (or sectoral) groups and some potential end-users, experts, National Agencies, practitioners, decision makers etc
Annual valorisation Conferences (around Europe)

19. Valorisation Conferences (1) (open to thematic monitoring and other organisers)
Bringing together successful promoters (innovative product/process) and potential users
Focus on meeting users’ needs

20. Valorisation Conferences (2)
2 Calls for Proposals for Valorisation events till Feb 2005 ( €)
Conferences, seminars and linked exhibitions bringing together promoters and end-users

21. Valorisation Conferences (3)

23. Transfer of Innovation
2 Calls for proposals
Funding available for translation, adaptation, testing of finished or semi-finished LdV projects
First Call completed
Second Call: published 16 March deadline 1 June (Value: €)

24. LdV 2005-2006 New Call for Proposals
Ex-ante valorisation becomes compulsory
A valorisation plan to be explicited in the proposal
Therafter to be updated during the lifetime of the project

25. Valorisation Plan (1)
Identifying user need and group of users to be associated to the project during all his lifetime
Identifying “prescriptors” & decision makers
Identifying milestones for their “involvment”

26. Valorisation Plan (2) 3 key questions to be answered :
What is the expected project result?
What training needs are met ?
Who will be end-user?

27. Valorisation Plan (3)
- Define dissemination and exploitation activities
Specify how (most adequate means)
Specify at which step (most efficient and appropriate timing)
Foresee necessary resources (human and financial ressources)
