Participation in the kick-off event for the projects approved under the Innosup-06-2018 Call
The kick-off event for the projects approved under the Innosup-06-2018 Call took place in Brussels on the 2nd and 3rd of December 2019.
The event was initiated with the speeches of the European Commission representatives and Project Officers on the call of Innosup-06, its objectives and expected results. The main participants of the event were the representatives of the organisations leading the approved projects, who had the opportunity to present those projects, as well as their organisations. KEPA participated in this call with the project DCS-iSMEs, which aims to compare the impact of Design Thinking Methodology on SMEs, as part of an extra follow-up service after the implementation and receipt of funding through national or regional programmes. The second part of the event was dedicated to personal meetings between project representatives, project officers and representatives of the Innovation Growth Lab (NESTA), the latter being the organization responsible for the guidance and support for the fruitful application of the RCT methodology.
The second day included an analytical explanation of the RCT methodology, monitoring of indicators, financial and technical project management. During that day, groupings among projects were designed, in order to develop teams of similar projects, the participants of which will be able to support each other during project implementation.
