Who can participate?  Any undertaking, university or research centre or other legal entity, whether established in a: - Member State (MS) - Associated country (AC), or - third country  Joint Research Centre (JRC) - is deemed to be established in another MS or AC  International organisations and participants from third countries can participate only if in addition to the minima

Conditions for participation  Minimum condition, general rule, at least 3 independent participants from 3 different MS or Ac  Additional conditions can be established by the SP or WP (number or type of participant, place of establishment)

The Evaluation Criteria Three main criteria: –S&T Quality (relevant to the topic of the call) Concept, objective, work-plan –Implementation Individual participants and consortium as a whole Allocation of resources –Impact Contribution to expected impacts listed in work programme Plans for dissemination/exploitation

Become an expert evaluator The benefits of being an evaluator are as follows: –You spend about one week in Brussels learning the process and doing the work. –You meet all the Commission staff. –You meet all the other evaluators from across Europe. –You learn what the current thinking and state of the art is. –You become part of the community. –Frequently it facilitates your own future participation in the program. If you have an industrial background or if you are a female candidate - you should mention it in your application, since it might give you an advantage.

The role of experts Experts agree to terms and conditions of an “appointment letter” –In particular, clear rules on confidentiality, and conflicts of interest Typically, an individual will review 6-8 proposals “remotely”…. …then spend a couple of days in Brussels Some will participate in “hearings” with the consortia Travel and subsistence reimbursed –Plus €450 honorarium per day Names published after the evaluations

It’s hard work!...but it’s also an excellent chance to: –Meet new faces, network and discuss new ideas Many new project partnerships, have been spawned during evaluations! –Understand what makes a good proposal Calls for “candidates” published 14 December –Call for applications from individuals… –…and from institutions –Applications via Participant PortalParticipant Portal GJKD2LY12f10c8rVknhzWF30KnLvB8d18ZwpV473HddWwD! The role of experts

Reimbursement of eligible costs  Most funding schemes, particularly at beginning of H2020 will use reimbursement of eligible costs Eligible  actual (average personnel costs may be used if do not differ significantly from actual)  incurred during duration of project  in accordance with the beneficiary usual accounting and management principles  recorded in the accounts of beneficiary  used for the sole purpose of achieving the objectives of the project In Horizon VAT-eligible

Indirect Cost  Participants may charge eligible direct and indirect costs  Reimbursement of indirect costs: 25% for all organisations

 Participants are technically responsible to carry out the project jointly and severally towards the Community and have to carry out the work of a defaulting participant  All beneficiaires contribute to the Fund to insure against losses of a defaulting participant  The contribution shall not exceed 5% of the EC financial contribution due to each participant  Financial interests generated by the Fund will serve to cover financial risk  In principle this amount will be reimbursed at the end of the action Guarantee Fund

Payment modalities  One pre-financing for the whole duration of the action  Interim payments based on financial statements (EC contribution= amounts justified & accepted * funding rate – 5% kept in the guarantee fund)  Retention (10%)  Final payment

Consortium - Legal aspects  The Grant Agreement is the legal agreement between the European Commission and the Consortium. It states the start- and end-date of the project the amount of the grant and all legal provisions.  The Consortium Agreement is a document that partners finalize amongst themselves, which allows them to define in detail the administrative and management provisions necessary to carry out their project.

IPR – Intellectual Property Rights Ownership: each participant owns the foreground it generated Joint Ownership: when foreground is generated jointly and it is impossible to determine the respective share of the work – the joint owners must reach an agreement Access Rights Under certain conditions, a participant in a project must grant the other participants access rights to its foreground or background if this is needed for implementation of use However, participants may define the background needed in any manner, and may exclude specific background (not necessarily prior to signature of EC grant agreement) Unless agreed by the owner, access rights do not include right to sub-license

How to Proceed - Flow Chart  Read Carefully WP/WPs  Identify subjects of your expertise/interest in the WP/WPs  Check for “best fit” topic/s  Is it in the open call? Act Immediately !!!!

How to Proceed- Join the Club  Identify the European leading groups in the field  Try to Join Forces  Highlight your capabilities and your potential contribution to the consortium (“affirmative score”).  Prepare a short profile emphasizing your skills and partners sought.
