The ELSE SIM consortium performed 2 kams activities and 28 EIMC assessments, for a total of 30 clients mentored, that accounts for 30% of the target The 2020 - 21 Covid-19 situation negatively affected the whole EEN performances. As reported in the Grant Agreement, the current biannual period aimed to be the period of the “perfect integration” between COSME and H2020 services, aiming at accompanying the Client in a process of co-creation of a structured process for a company’s tailored service design commensurable with their strategy and vision. The Consortium has intensively worked to implement the hub and spoke community, while supporting the Network Client’s Journey. Consortium has been reaching the full implementation of “client-centric approach”, becoming the support integrator for the individual Client: providing the core services and pulling together the skills of the consortium members, offering additional services also co-developed by the local partners in and outside the consortium and across the Network. Efforts have been made it create synergies with other EU projects beside the Cosme EEN project and to reinforce relationships with host structures. Pandemic has demonstrated that in difficult times “unity is strength”. In place of the usual ELSE SIM campaigns to recruit new clients, partners addressed unified communication to clients and potential new clients, to offer a set of services labelled both host structure and EEN. Even though the consortium reports still difficulty to individuate Seal of Excellence cases (SoE), some SoEs have been assigned to the coordinator to manage the needs analysis of cases and help companies to ameliorate assets for future EIC proposals.
