Enterprise Europe Network Sample Clauses

Enterprise Europe Network. The measures related to the establishment and operation of the Enterprise Europe Network are the most important element of the EIP as far as the second objective of the programme, the creation of an environment favourable to SME cooperation is concerned. The Network was established through a call for proposals in 2007 and started operating in 2008. It brought together two pre-existing networks, the Euro Info Centres and Innovation Relay Centres. The Enterprise Europe Network now consists of 92 regional consortia, bringing together a total of 618 organisations. The overall objective of the Enterprise Europe Network is to provide support for business and innovation – in particular for SMEs – by offering information, feedback to the Commission, business cooperation services, innovation, technology and knowledge transfer services plus services encouraging the participation of SMEs in the Community Framework Programme for R&D. The implementation of Network-related EIP measures has been entrusted to the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI). The hand-over of the project management took place already on 1st November 2007, the delegation of the network animation tasks was formally concluded on 30 April 2008 and the management of IT tools was handed over on 23 February 2009.

Enterprise Europe Network. In the case of the Enterprise Europe Network, our assessment is that the 17 indicators reported at this point provide a partial view of the programme’s effectiveness. Given that the Network members have already agreed – following a consultation - on a new set of 35 indicators that include 8 result and 8 impact indicators these should be included in the proposed list. In contrast, we consider that the long list of output indicators used for operational purposes is not essential for communicating the performance of the measure to the EIPC and other external stakeholders, except perhaps when attention needs to be drawn to unexpected levels. Thus we propose to aggregate for reporting purposes the indicators relating to the number of participants in events, the number of SMEs’ queries answered, the SMEs receiving different types of services and SMEs participating in events. A single indicator could adequately summarise these outputs and short term results. The number of participants and beneficiaries represents an indicator that stands in between outputs and results (since it also reflects the number of activities organised) In our view this indicator is sufficient and the most relevant for reporting to the EIPC on an annual basis. In addition, we propose the Proposed set of indicators and 4 recommendations inclusion of a quality indicator based on the client satisfaction rate, since this addresses issues of relevance, utility and the added-value of the services provided (indicator no.7)11. Similarly, the intended client benefits assessment survey performed by the network should be the basis for reporting on the impact indicator (no.8). For both indicators a three year reporting period is necessary. Finally, we consider that two more indicators (no.9 and no.10) addressing the more specific objectives of establishing the network coherence and image should also be included. Both are reported by the network members. There are some questions raised as to the capacity of the service recipients to distinguish between the support provided by the Network and other services, and thus distinguish the Network brand, especially if the survey takes places some time after the provision of the service. According to the Agency and other experts an indicator of complementarities with the regional business and innovation services should also be provided, addressing a question of added-value. However this may pose difficulties for the Network members in the short term since it is...
