ASSIST-AI scored 89 out of 100 in Erasmus+ selection. Published scores are rare enough in this sector that the breakdown is worth setting out, including the part that is not flattering.
The breakdown
- Relevance: 22 of 25
- Quality of design and implementation: 26 of 30
- Quality of partnership: 17 of 20
- Impact: 24 of 25
The panel's overall assessment: a very good application with a topic highly relevant to inclusion.
The one we are pleased with
Impact at 24 of 25. That score reflects the dissemination architecture rather than the technology: webinars, local autism events and multiplier sessions in every partner country, planned before the bid was written rather than bolted on to satisfy the form.
Partnership at 17 of 20 is the honest weak point, and it is the most instructive number in the set.
The one that teaches you something
Assembling six organisations across six countries with genuinely complementary strengths is harder than assembling six that agree to participate. Autism sector expertise in Spain and Portugal, technical scenario design in France, university technology transfer in Turkey, coordination in Germany. The pieces fit, but building that fit takes longer than writing the application, and the score reflects where we ran out of runway.
It is the part of consortium building that cannot be rushed, and the reason we tell prospective partners to contact us earlier than feels necessary.
What we measure now
The project runs a Quality and Impact Assurance Framework with structured evaluation surveys after each meeting. The first transnational meeting evaluated strongly, with work-package leader ratings between 7.86 and 9.43 out of 10.
