Support the development of a Monitoring and Evaluation system
The targeted assignment for Azores focuses on addressing challenges stemming from the region's relatively low-maturity and small-sized Research and Innovation (R&I) system, which limits its capacity to drive local business innovation and establish strong value chains. This assignment aims to enhance the region's Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system, specifically tailored to its Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3). It includes a thorough review of the current M&E framework to identify improvement opportunities in alignment with Better Regulation Guidelines and best practices. The key objectives are to design a comprehensive set of indicators, create a feedback mechanism linking the Entrepreneurial Discovery Process (EDP) outcomes with the actions supported under the Azores 2021-2027 programme, and develop a detailed methodological framework for interim and ex-post evaluations of the S3. The final deliverable comprises a set of implementation guidelines for the enhanced M&E system, ensuring it fulfills the Managing Authority's reporting requirements and bolsters the overall effectiveness of the S3 in the Azores.

These keywords, identified using AI and manually verified, highlight the key elements of each strategic priority as reflected in individual strategies.
These keywords, identified and associated through semantic AI algorithms and manually reviewed, support the search function by identifying topics related to each strategic priority. While a priority may not explicitly focus on these keywords, they provide meaningful connections. For exxample, agricultural terms might relate to circular economy priorities, such as biofuels or agricultural waste valorisation. Semantically associated keywords enable users to find regions with similar or related priorities, offering a starting point for deeper exploration of each specific strategy.
