Two calls, so let’s talk about the first one:

1st Call – Basic information A ToR on the joint actions was defined by the membership during the first part of the project, after workshops with partners and stakeholders, so a list of indicators was established. The first call was launched on the 1st November 2014 with the deadline on the 10th February 2015 - PT-DLR internet Tool. Topics: Renewable energies and energy efficiency: JC-ENERGY-2014 Water resources management: JC-WATER-2014 Energy-Water nexus: JC-NEXUS-2014 21 funded projects, by topic: 11 for energy, 7 for water, 3 for nexus 11M euro provided for funding.

1st Call – Some indicators from ToR Number of participating countries/regions in the call Number of submitted proposals Number of applicants involved Number of funded projects and overall success rate Total costs and requested (or accepted) funding Amount of project costs (average 1 project) Number of proposals (projects) per region, per country Number of project coordinators per region, per country Average number of applicants per project consortium Average number of regions/countries per project consortium

1st Call – Some more indicators Composition of consortia in terms of organization type (e.g. SME, IND, RES, HE) Large Industry participation (in % for total of projects) Requested (or accepted) funding per region, per country Transnational networking of applicants who cooperates with whom?
