About this good practice
Application of bonification surplus scoring system related with relevance of the proposal project in relation with societal challenges
At Portugal2020 OP Compete in the Project Merit (MP) we have 4 specific areas for evaluation, namely:
Project Quality
Impact of the project on the competitiveness of the company;
Contribution of the project to the economy;
Contribution of the project to regional convergence.
At the sub level contribution of the project to the economy we have taken into account its integration in the fields of intelligent specialization, its contribution to the remaining thematic areas of Portugal 2020 and the response to societal challenges, by an increase in this criteria:
Majority: Contribution to Societal Challenges + 0,5 points:
This includes good practices of support for innovation through answering unmet needs
