Can we propose for a market validation project without having the obligation to propose next for an initial deployment project?
Yes. However, market validation projects should show, as their end result, a clear and achievable path towards deployment. This Deployment potential is an award criterion in the evaluation. So, a market validation proposal will be evaluated (amongst others) on the likelihood that the initial deployment will be the next step, regardless of the fact whether the initial deployment is submitted to the Commission for funding.
