OVERALL COMMENTS: Please be as specific and clear as possible, ensure that your comments are consistent with the marks given, and use polite language. In the case of less good quality applications, please explain points which you feel could be improved.

Your comments may be sent as feedback to unsuccessful applicants.

The application is clearly structured. The seminar program is clearly linked to the applicant's job in the field of adult education and the provision of technical assistance in the preparation of project applications for EU funding programs relating to lifelong learning (Leonardo, Comenius, Grundtvig, etc.). Since the applicant directly works with target groups such as schools, educational institutions, local government and civil society organizations, or adult education in the area of the Lifelong Learning Program, the seminar will be of benefit to both the applicant and the home institution, since the applicant will be able to transfer the acquired knowledge to the target groups with which it works.

Although the applicant explained how they would transfer their knowledge, it could have been a little clearer to explain how to transfer knowledge in the field of adult education other than work on project applications.

Due to the intercultural and primarily EU content and opportunities for exchange of experience and new knowledge, the application has European added value and strengthens the European dimension of the home institution.

The applicant developed an excellent dissemination plan with very clear steps including the use of various media.

Prijava je jasno strukturirana. Program seminara je jasno povezan sa prijaviteljičinim poslom u domeni obrazovanja odraslih i pružanja tehničke pomoći pri izradi projektnih prijava za programe EU fondova koji se odnose na cjeloživotno obrazovanje (Leonardo, Comenius, Grundtvig i dr.). Budući da prijaviteljica direktno radi sa ciljanim grupama kao što su škole, obrazovne institucije, lokalna samouprava i organizacije civilnog društva, odnosno obrazovanjem odraslih na području Programa cjeloživotnog obrazovanja, seminar će biti od koristi kako za prijaviteljicu tako i za matičnu ustanovu budući da će prijaviteljica moći prenijeti stečena znanja na ciljane grupe sa kojima radi. Iako je prijaviteljica objasnila na koji će način prenijeti svoja znanja, moglo se je malo jasnije objasniti na koji će se nači prenijeti znanja u domeni obrazovanja odraslih osim rada na projektnim prijavama.

Zbog intekulturalnog i prvenstveno EU sadržaja i mogućnosti za razmjenu iskustva, te nova saznanja, prijava ima europsku dodanu vrijednost te jača europsku dimenziju matične ustanove.

Prijaviteljica je odlično razradila plan diseminacije sa vrlo jasnim koracima koji uključuju i korištenje raznih medija.

Stručno usavršavanje je rezultat Socrates projekta ili centraliziranog projekta Programa za cjeloživotno učenje, a to je element koji se ocjenjuje u prijavi. Referentni broj za LLP/Socrates projekte: 07NLD01-CO06-00214-2.

Dodani su bodovi za nacionalne prioritete budući da je prijaviteljica iz jedne od prioritetnih županija.

Također su dodani bodovi za nacionalne prioritete koji se odnose na činjenicu da prijaviteljeva ustanova još nije dobila financijsku potporu za Grundtvig stručno usavršavanje te usavršavanje doprinosi kvaliteti obučavateljskih vještina te povećanju konkurentnosti na tržištu rada.

I hereby declare to the best of my knowledge that I have no conflict of interest (including family, emotional life, political affinity, economic interest or any other shared interest) with the person who has submitted this grant application. Furthermore, I confirm that I will not communicate to any third party any information that may be disclosed to me in the context of my work as an evaluator.
