3. New criteria Justification of Union intervention
Contribution to the objectives (No support to topics that are not clearly linked to the strategic orientations of the WP 2018/20);
Relevance and positioning in the broader context (No support to topics already covered by H2020 calls unless there is clearly demonstrated complementarity and no support to activities/topics already covered by support to other P2Ps);
Added value of Union intervention at EU level and national level (No support to topics that do not demonstrate that the mobilised resources and variety of activities are adequate to achieving the objectives)
Budgetary issues and leverage effects
Indicative financial commitments (No support to topics that are not supported by indicative commitments to the co-funded call and to other calls / activities at national/transnational level);
Amount of requested Union contribution (Minimum leverage effect of 5 to be expected by the Union support).
Expected impacts on EU and national level (no support to topics that do not clearly demonstrate the expected impacts at EU and at national level)
