Question details
Work Package 4: Technical support to the work of the Strategic Forum Task 4.1. Analytical support to the work of the Strategic Forum for Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEIs)
With regards to point 3 entitled “For the key value chains identified at point 2, further specific analysis”, of task 4.1, on page 28, could you please specify how many value chains should be identified at point 2? On how many value chains should point 3 and subsequent points focus on?

The Strategic Forum's task is to define and list value chains of strategic importance for Europe. The Commission cannot, at this stage, define a fixed number. As described in the Technical Specifications, Task 4.1.2, the prioritisation of key value chains shall be done in consultation with the Strategic Forum. The methodology for prioritisation should not be build depending on a targeted number of key value chains but according to evidence-based criteria and a sound economic and industrial policy rationale. While the Commission estimates at the current point in time that Tasks 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 may need to be done for up to 12 value chains, and Tasks 4.1.5 and 4.1.6 for up to 6 value chains[1], flexibility is expected from the Contractor to provide sufficient and adequate analytical support to the work of the Strategic Forum, including by adapting to possibly evolving needs of the Strategic Forum during the process. Flexibility will be a key success factor for this Work Package.
