Validation and refinement report

We will use the historical data from the regions not involved in the original study to perform an independent testing of the developed methodologies and tools. They will be tested on the data coming from at least 10 different Re-gional Development Agencies from at least 5 European regions to ensure the generality of the results. Intensive testing will allow for the validation of the general concepts and refinement of the performance-based methodology for the best results of the project.
