NCP Role  Intelligence gathering  Facilitate, coordinate and foster ICT research and innovation partnerships -- A “Connector”  Dissemination of information on H2020 activities, i.e. workshops, conferences, Information/Proposer Days  Assist in partner search activities  A liaison role with the EC, establish a solid relationship  Confidentiality and transparency for all  Database of R&D organizations & individuals

IDEAL-IST The Ideal-ist network consists of more than 70 ICT National Contact Points from all over the world, in line with the international cooperation strategy of the EC. Established in 1996 and funded by the EC A quality labeled and pro-active partner search tool to connect researchers Targeting the strategic objective of the ICT theme and is call-specific A quality team to support proposer, for a more focused proposal submission Brokerage events with brokerage tools for big events

Types of Actions Research & Innovation Action Primarily consisting of activities establishing new knowledge and/or explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution. May include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing and validation on a small-scale prototype in a lab or simulated environment. Innovation Action Primarily consisting of activities aiming at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, process or services, may include prototyping, testing, piloting, demonstrating, large-scale product validation and market replication

Types of Actions (cont’d) Coordination and Support Actions consisting of accompanying measures such as standardization, dissemination, networking, awareness-raising and communication, coordination or support services, policy dialogues and mutual learning exercises and studies, including design studies for new infrastructure and may also include complementary activities of strategic planning, networking and coordination between programmes in different countries. SME Instrument (not for Canada) Targeted at all types of innovative SMEs showing a strong ambition to develop, grow and internationalize. Provides staged support covering the whole innovation cycle in three phases complemented by a mentoring and coaching service.

Types of Actions (cont’d) ERA-NET Cofund Designed to support public-public partnerships, including joint programming initiatives between Member States, in their preparation, establishment of networking structures, design, implementation and coordination of joint activities as well as the EC topping-up of a transnational call for proposals. Based on the merger of the previous ERA-NET and ERA-NET Plus actions Allows for programme collaboration in any part of the entire research- innovation cycle. Main compulsory activity is the implementation of the co-funded joint call for proposals that leads to the funding of transnational research and/or innovation projects.

Evaluation Criteria Majority of proposals are evaluated on: Excellence Impact Quality and Efficiency of the Implementation  Each of the above 3 criteria will be scored out of 5, with a threshold of 3.  Overall threshold of proposal, applies to the sum of the 3 individual scores, is 10. Exceptions:  Innovation actions and SME instrument, (phase 1 and 2), the criteria score for “impact” will be given a weight of 1.5.  For evaluation of first-stage proposals under a two-stage submission procedure, only the criteria “excellence” and “impact” will be evaluated. The threshold for both individual criteria will be 4.
