Results of First Call : Selected Projects
All sub-themes covered. Substantial socio-economic relevance and content. Potential policy contribution.
Proposals in 4.2.2 (Cultural Heritage), 4.3.1 (Built Environment) and 4.4.1 (Sustainable Urban Transport) very good
Proposals in 4.1.1 (Governance and Decision Making) of value but need clustering to bring out holistic approach to urban governance

Benefits of networkingand clustering
widening scope of individual projects better consistency & co-ordination between
projects, researchers and stakeholders increased awareness of technology trends enlarging RTD towards integrated solutions
and improved exploitation of strategic RTD strengthening RTD infrastructure through
foresight analysis, & access to research facilities contributing to focus and concentration

First Call Results : Clustering
4.1.1. Clustering could help in the formation of a coherent research community relating to urban governance and decision making.
4.2.2 Only networks and concerted actions were open in the first call; additional clustering was not seen as appropriate.
4.3.1 There would be merits in linking the two networks which were seen as complementary.
4.4.1 There would be merits in clustering proposals around “sustainable transport through integration with land use planning”.
At this stage, clustering should be seen as exploratory and should only proceed when mutual interest is established. Coordination rather than clustering is the most appropriate means of linking with other Key Actions.

Messages for potential proposers based on Messages for potential proposers based on experience of the first evaluationexperience of the first evaluation
Present the objectives and the potential results in the context of the work programme. Explain why the proposed approach is the best way of meeting the objectives. Describe the methodology showing how the results would be obtained. Justify claims for socio-economic impacts.
All levels (researchers, end users, public authorities etc.) of stakeholders should be involved in the research.
The state of the art must be described (a description is of much more value than a list of references!).
The approach to be followed must be sufficient to convince the evaluators of its credibility
Ask somebody not involved to critically evaluate the draft proposal.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA Directive - 85/337/EEC and amended EIA Directive 97/11/EC)
The EIA procedure ensures that environmental consequences of public and private projects (motorways, airports, urban development projects, car parks, tourism and leisure projects, railways, waste disposal, tradeports, etc.) are identified and assessed before local or national authorisation is given
through “case-by-case” examinations or by “thresholds or criteria set by the Member States”. In
both cases, the criteria should refer to characteristics of the projects (size, risks, etc.) location of the project (densely populated areas, cultural heritage significance,
etc.) characteristics of the potential impact (duration, reversibility, magnitude, etc.)
identification, description and assessment of the direct and indirect effects of projects on human beings, materials assets and cultural heritage,etc..
