A word of caution Success rates are low – usually 10 – 15 % of the proposals are funded High effort to prepare a proposal (several person months full time) Key role of the coordinator Our experience: Coordinator must have been involved in previous projects Do not try to stretch the call but respond to it carefully Read the fine print before you start to work, usually helps to contact the Commission officers If your idea does not fit the call, do not write a proposal Addressing the call is not enough: there should be at least one novel creative idea – unique selling proposition 05/05/2016 xxx
