Access to documents request — Innovation Fund project evaluation scores

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information concerning the Innovation Fund (large-scale and small-scale calls, all rounds to date):

1. The **evaluation scores** awarded to each submitted proposal under each of the five award criteria (degree of innovation; GHG emission avoidance potential/effectiveness; project maturity; replicability/scalability; cost efficiency), for **all** proposals — funded, reserve-listed, and rejected — at the level of the individual proposal.

2. The **ranking** of proposals and the **score threshold(s)** used to determine funding, reserve-list, and rejection outcomes in each call.

3. For each proposal (funded, reserve, rejected): the **requested grant amount** and the **absolute GHG emission avoidance** figure submitted/assessed (tCO2eq over the first ten years of operation).

Where full disclosure is not possible, I request partial access with proposal identities pseudonymised, retaining the per-proposal score vector, requested grant, and GHG-avoidance figure. The research purpose is an academic, non-commercial evaluation of allocation cost-effectiveness; aggregate/pseudonymised data fully serves it.

Please provide the documents in a machine-readable format (CSV/XLSX) if available.

Yours faithfully,
Min Seo Kim
