State of the art and innovative aspects of the project
Provide a description of the state of the art of the technique or method addressed. Elaborate on the technical description of the processes or methods and/or proposed innovation(s), new elements, improvements. Describe the previous research and experience carried out in preparation for the project implementation, including feasibility studies. Please take into account that the innovative nature of the proposed actions can be evaluated from different perspectives: a) relative to the technologies applied by the project (technological innovation), b) relative to the way technologies are implemented (innovation in processes or methods) and, c) concerning the business and economic models developed by the project (economic and business innovation). These different dimensions of the innovatory nature have to be compared with the state of the art at global (world) level. N.B. Geographical technology or practice transfer alone (without a genuine development of innovative character) can not be considered as innovative. Equally, projects which involve pure research and development or merely preparatory activities (studies, surveys, etc) can not be considered innovative per se.
