• Scaling Up
• Scaling Out
• Policy Learning
• Policy Impact
See next 4 slides for more details

Consolidation of results and their adoption at
regional/national level as a follow up to project activities
Geographical extension of results to other contexts, via
replication, transfer, adaptation, networked learning, etc.
Actual uptake of a project result or recommendation on
the part of the relevant target policy makers
Possible transformative effects on higher-level policy
frameworks and in general the practice of policy making

7. Scaling Up
• Good project results, but then little happens – why?
• In search of an explanation, one first has to look introspectively to the
project itself
• Questions:
• Were you thinking about sustainability from day 1 or only as an afterthought?
• Were the results actually foreseen or simply discovered?
• What was the degree of perfection / refinement of proposed solutions?
• Were results really relevant to the MED space?
• Were sustainability measures adequate?
• Answers possibly affected by the vertical domain of interest – but we
suspect only to a limited extent 7

8. Scaling Out
• If the project worked fine in X regions, why couldn’t it be the same in
the remaining (43-X, or even 271-X) ones?
• Geographical extension is only one example of transfer, which may
also involve complex processes such as
• Imitation
• Emulation
• Incubation
• Competition
• However we register that there are currently no ways to scale good
project results out to an extent that avoids reinventing the wheel or
facilitates standing on the precursors’ shoulders

9. Policy Learning
• To the extent the project implications remain untapped, policy makers
are missing a great potential in terms of discovery of insights on
• Common/replicable practices
• Key actors / tools / enablers
• Market exploitable innovations
• Usable guidelines for policy change
• A gap analysis is probably required to highlight the learning
trajectories from project results to evidence based policy actions
• Are these transmission mechanisms domain specific or can they be
made uniform / standardised?
9

10. Policy Impact
• Transforming regional policies is a key goal of territorial cooperation:
making this happen depends on
• The presence of a fertile policy environment
• A strong investment in learning capacity of decision makers
• The new programme’s strategy is already acting in this direction,
however impact is mainly assessed ex post
• A process-oriented in itinere approach would help
• An interim step forward might be the creation of a community of
convergent actors and interests
• With a clear definition of goals for policy transformation
• Activating processes of formative evaluation

20. List of the Questions
Session Questions for the Panel (feel free to add / change)
1) What are the most important experiences of Innovative Public Procurement
ongoing or occurred in the Mediterranean?
2) Is there any way to classify or cluster those examples or to depict a sort of
maturity model for them?
3) To which extent can IPP contribute to the development of Creativity and
Social Innovation in Europe?
4) Can you name at least one project or initiative at national / European level
that is coherent with the philosophy and principles of this Project?
5) What are the networks or communities or individual actors that come to
your mind when thinking about the clustering and dissemination potential of
this Project?
