There is no difference between “regular” and innovative projects in terms of monitoring. Common indicators have to be reported for all projects under all investment priorities. Where the common indicators are not directly relevant to the objectives of the programme, then programme-specific indicators should be developed. Examples of programme-specific indicators to monitor progress in terms of innovation could be:
- number of projects dedicated at promoting social innovation (output indicator – project related);
- number of innovative enterprises supported (output indicator – entity related);
- number of entities supported to introduce innovative forms of work organisation, including family friendly working time arrangements (output indicator – entity related);
- number of supported entities that have introduced innovative forms of work organisation, including family friendly working time arrangements (result indicator – entity related).
