KEY FINDINGS within NEW EU STUDIES ON MEGA PROJECT DECISION MAKING
- The previous study mentioned and considered a number of assessment approaches e.g. OMEGA study, TIPMAC, IASON. Nevertheless, the comment was made that it would be useful and important to consider other approaches, in particular NETLIPSE.
- The NETLIPSE approach provides a tool to assess the maturity of project planning and implementation. The so-called IPAT tool is supported by the NETLIPSE knowledge network that is educated to undertake IPAT analyses in a structured way.
- Decision-making on infrastructure plans and large projects has recently been progressed in several European countries, in particular France, Germany and the United Kingdom. Interdependencies between single projects and wider economic effects are discussed or even proposed to be considered by revisions of the national assessment procedures.
