Synergies among the projects
The aim of the identification of synergies among selected projects is to optimise projects' results: the selected measures, tools, data and recommendations. Synergies are understood as an interaction of elements that when combined produce a greater effect than the sum of the individual elements or contributions:
Classes of Synergies
- Territorial synergies type 1: two or more different projects work on the same topic, but on various locations.
- Territorial synergies type 2: two or more projects deal with the same area and when results are combined we could get a comprehensive study/strategy/development plan.
- Sector specific synergies: two or more projects address the same topic, but from different perspective and thus results could be enriched if joined and interrelated.
- Cross-sectorial synergies: two or more projects address different sectors, but provide sufficient denominator to join the results.
- Data synergies: two or more projects have collected data, that could be merged and additionally some new indexes could be calculated based on the datasets from different projects.
- Institutional/network synergies: two or more partnerships separately work on the same topics – when joined their results could be much greater.
- Synergies in tools: one project can develop a tool that can be used also in other cases (e.g. GIS platforms, educational tool kits).
- Synergies in approaches and methods: two or more projects use methodological approaches that could be combined into comprehensive methodology that could be implemented in other situation.
