5. Assessing and selecting clusters of eco-innovative ideas

During the eco-selection phase, ideas are discussed and debated as a group (a participant may ask for further explanation or development of an idea, for example), and scored individually according to four criteria relevant to an eco-innovation approach:

• technical feasibility ;

• economic feasibility ;

• environmental relevance ;

• originality, according to the evaluation system (see table "Selection criteria and associated scoring system").
