Leonardo da Vinci:Valorisation and Thematic monitoringJanette SinclairEuropean CommissionDG Education & Culture
To increase the impact of successful LdV results on VET systems in Europe: better employment, better growth, meeting Lisbon & Barcelona targets Why do it?
Ex-post = linear model of innovationValorisation • Too late • Users’needs not properly taken into account • No/limited involvement of users
Ex-ante = interactive model of innovation Dissemination Exploitation € € • Interactivity between promoters & users • Valorisation plan from the start of the project • Greater chances of success Innovative work Users Promoters €
LdV I (1995-1999): not mentioned LdV II (2000-2006): mentioned but -ex-post (2000-2002) for LdVI projects -ex-ante voluntary (2003-2004) LdV II projects -ex-ante compulsory (2005-2006) LdV II projects LdV valorisation: overview
VALORISATION = Ex-ante and Compulsory For all education and training programmes (not only LdV) Post 2006:
Valorisation “ex-post” of LdV I projects Difficult where project results : Potentially obsolescent Not developed in line with user needs Not developed beyond prototype Partnership no longer active Valorisation LdV 2000-2002
Thematic Monitoring (ex-ante valorisation) Valorisation Conferences (2 x 500.000€) in 2004 (finished projects) Transfer of Innovation (700.000 + 1.500.000 €) in 2004 Valorisation in LdV2003-2004
Thematic Monitoring: Launched in 2002 for Exchange of experience between promoters Since 2003: introduction of ex-ante on a voluntary basis (300 projects/1000) Valorisation in LdV 2003- 2004 Building on Thematic Monitoring
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 Valorisation in LdV:2003-2004 Thematic Monitoring Each ‘live’ project:
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 strengthen the networking between projects, practitioners and decision makers Thematic Monitoring
2003-2004: 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 Thematic Monitoring
Sectoral approach: To be implemented in 2004 Thematic Monitoring
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 Thematic Monitoring National Agencies
Essential contribution Expertise Knowledge of projects Synergy Thematic MonitoringAll National Agencies =
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) Thematic Monitoring
Bringing together successful promoters (innovative product/process) and potential users Focus on meeting user needs Valorisation Conferences (open to thematic monitoring and other organisers)

Two calls for proposals Funding available for translation, adaptation, testing, transfer, integration of finished or near-finished LdV projects into new contexts First Call completed Second Call: published 16 March deadline 1 June (Value: 1.500.000 €) Transfer of Innovation
Ex-ante valorisation becomes compulsory A valorisation plan required in the proposal Thereafter to be updated during the lifetime of the project LdV 2005-2006New Call for Proposals
Identifying user needs and groups of users to be associated with the project throughout its lifetime Identifying “prescriptors” & decision makers Identifying milestones for their “involvment” Valorisation Plan
3 key questions to be answered : What is the expected project result? What training needs will be met ? Who will be the end-user? Valorisation Plan
- Define dissemination and exploitation activities Specify how (most adequate means) Specify when (most efficient and appropriate timing) Foresee necessary resources (human and financial) Valorisation Plan
VALORISATION = Ex-ante and Compulsory For all education and training programmes (not only LdV) Post 2006:
