agreement with successful applicants, the Commission’s view is that at this stage, there is still too little first-hand experience (with only the two ECOC 2020 having been through the whole cycle of the monitoring process) to come to solid conclusions. This may be covered in the frame of the first evaluation to be carried under the new legal basis.

On evaluation and, more specifically, on the organisation of an evaluation seminar for title-holders, the Commission points out that in September 2019, it launched a capacity building scheme for the benefit of ECOC delivery teams. As part of this 30-month project, academic camps will be organised while MOOCs and webinars will be produced on various areas which are relevant to ECOC delivery teams, including monitoring and evaluation.
