Abstract
Metholodogy of Conclusions Evaluation as a Barrier for Getting Finansing of
Innovations in SME. The main aim of this article was to identify the barriers arising from the
proposals for the definition of innovation adopted for evaluation. The subject of the study was
the methodology of evaluation of applications for co-financing under European Union funds,
the sub-measure „Industrial research and development by enterprises”.
Complicated procedures and the lack of access to reliable information result in the need to
use third-party services when preparing applications. In addition, projects that are highly competitive
are favored, but are not always the most innovative. Another problem is the approach to
the definition of innovation. The so-called the Oslo methodology was last updated in 2005. The
methodology adopted is also not adequate to the current situation in the IT service landscape.
