We submitted our comments to the project evaluation system of Intelligent Development Operational Program.
The Ministry of Development, Labor and Technology is preparing for the launch of the new financial perspective 2021-2027. Therefore, on June 28, 2021, it organized a meeting of representatives of the KIS Working Groups and representatives of the Intelligent Development Operational Program Managing Authority, the National Center for Research and Development and the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development to discuss issues related to the project evaluation system in the Intelligent Development Operational Program
The invitation to participate in the meeting was also sent to the president of PGM, Adam Sikorski, who is a member of the working group KIS 6 (National Smart Specialisation #6: “Environmentally friendly transport solutions“).
Therefore, responding to request to send detailed topics / questions regarding the Intelligent Development Operational Program project evaluation system, existing problems and suggestions in connection with your work on the new financial perspective 2021-2027, below I present those that we considered the most important.
