Note. * Evaluation shall be calculated in the following procedure:
1) average (the arithmetical mean) indicator shall be calculated that has been specified in
project applications that correspond to administrative evaluation criteria and have been transferred for
quality evaluation:
Rvid = R(1.projekts) + .. + R(n projekts)/n
2) deviation of the project indicator from the average arithmetical mean shall be determined:
N0400_4p6

Deviation from the average = ((R(projekta)/Rvid) – 1) x 100 %
