This term refers to activities designed to ensure that the results of a project are appropriately recognised, demonstrated and implemented on a wide scale. VALORISATION - INTRODUCTION

3. U N I V E R S I T A R I A © Ximo-2001 3 EX - ANTE VALORISATION It involves planning, dissemination and exploitation of results from the beginning of a project. It is based on an ex – ante needs analysis of target group towards which the project is addressed. It involves interaction between the promoters of the project and the target group during the product development (Feedback). This process ensures more impact and sustainability of a project. EX - POST VALORISATION It involves dissemination and exploitation after the project has finished, when the results have been developed and are ready to be used. Late dissemination and exploitation of results reduces the chances for the project to have real impact. VALORISATION - STAGES
