CRAFT (Co-operative Research)  SMEs from different countries assign a significant part of the required scientific and technological research to ‘RTD performers’.  Projects are relatively short-term (1-2 years).  Intellectual Property Rights (IPR):  The consortium may decide to follow the default regime, which gives full ownership of all project results ("foreground") and IPR to the SMEs.  The consortium may reach an agreement in its own best interest, as long as the SMEs are provided with all the rights that are required for their intended use and exploitation of the project results.

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)  Specific conditions may also apply for: –Frontier research actions, at least 1 legal entity established in a MS or Ac –Collaborative projects addressing the participation of International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC) minimum is 4 participants, 2 of which from MS or Ac and another 2 from ICPC countries unless otherwise foreseen in the WP

The Evaluation Criteria Criteria adapted to each funding scheme –specified in the work programme 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 New for FP7

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 CORDIS: The role of experts

Redress Procedure New in FP7 è In the past, complaints arrived haphazardly l Handled at different levels l No systematic treatment l No common record è The redress procedure does not give a new right of appeal… è …but it will ensure a consistent and coherent approach to complaints l Establish “due process” l Uphold principles of transparency and equal treatment

Funding Non-profit public bodies, Secondary and higher education establishments, research organizations and SMEs All other organization Research and technological development activities 75%50% Demonstration activities 50% Coordinationand support actions 100% Management, audit certificates and other activities 100%

Reimbursement of eligible costs  Most funding schemes, particularly at beginning of FP7 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 Non-eligible (identifiable indirect taxes including VAT…)

Indirect Cost  Participants may charge eligible direct and indirect costs  Reimbursement of indirect costs : –For all:  either actual overhead, or simplified method, or  flat rate of 20% of direct costs –For Non profit Public Bodies, Secondary and Higher Education establishments, Research Organisations, and SMEs unable to identify real indirect costs, may apply for a flat rate of 60% for funding schemes with Research, Technological Development & Demonstration –For Coordination and Support Actions limit of 7% of direct costs

 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 (upon entry into force) for the whole duration of the action  Interim payments based on financial statements (EC contribution= amounts justified & accepted * funding rate)  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 Grant Agreement is signed by all partners.  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” and roadmaps  Is it in the present 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.

How to Proceed- Identify Leaders  Colleagues and Business relations  CORDIS partners service  FP5,FP6 & FP7 Projects (CORDIS, ISERD)  Fit for Health Project:  Idealist Project: ISERD’s Assistance

Enterprise Europe Network (EEN)  Helping SMEs find partners and make the most of business opportunities in the EU  A support hub for your business needs  Facilitating Research, Technological and Commercial partnerships  Brokerage & Networking opportunities  Exposure to the European market  Database with ~13,000 companies  What do I need to do?  Create a profile in the database  Search database for companies you are interested in EEN Israel Consortium is led by ISERD-Matimop in partnership with Manufacturers Association of Israel and The Israeli Export Institute
