List of Beneficiaries study prepared by TechnopolisMain findingsEstimated time spent on publishing the beneficiary list
Do you consider the amount of time and resources required for data maintenance on beneficiary and project information to be?
Formats used by the Managing Authorities to publishinformation on beneficiaries:(n=50, multiple choices)
Formats used by the Managing Authorities to publishinformation on beneficiaries of ETC programmes
Types of processes used to publish data • Figure 8 Process to publish beneficiary list
Only 42% (28% for ETC) of programmes collect any user feedback on the List of Beneficiaries22% (11) of the programmes have information in a foreign language
Technical approaches • National vs regional databases(sometimes 2 databases exist) • Basic IT solutions: MS Excel/Access / Manual processes • Intermediate IT solutions: My SQL databases, (e.g. SI; Vienna) / semi-automated processes (e.g.: data extracted data from db ->PDF) • Advanced IT solutions: e.g. Oracle-based (i.a. DK, HU, PL), IBM cognos (CZ) or Presage (FR) -> Fully automated processes: these are very efficient and powerful but costly to implement
List of Beneficiaries study Main recommendations of Technopolis • Data should be downloadable, searchable and compatible (at least on a national basis) • Commission to provide more detailed and prescriptive format, including common field descriptors for each compulsory field (e.g. Public co-financing and EU co-financing separate) • Commonly agreed data standards have to include field separators to allow the export of data (-> CSV file format) and the comparability and searchability of the data • MA to increase the update frequency of the information in the Lists of Beneficiaries (LoB)
Suggested field names • Project name • (Lead) beneficiary name • EU co-funding • National public co-funding • Total funding • (Lead) Beneficiary address lines 1-3 • Post code • Project Summary • Project Summary (EN) • Project start date • Project end date • Project duration • Country • Last updated
