45. 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

46. 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

47. Eligibility criteria  The proposal is received by the Commission before the deadline given in the call fiche.  It involves at least the minimum number of participants given in the call fiche.  It is complete (i.e. both the requested administrative forms and the proposal description are present).  The content of the proposal relates to the topic(s) and funding scheme(s), including any special conditions set out in the relevant parts of the work programme.  The requested EC contribution shall not exceed the maximum funding, as stated in the work programme, unless otherwise indicated in the topic description.

48. Criteria for evaluation  The Commission will evaluate the proposals submitted according to the following main criteria:  Scientific and/or technological excellence (relevance to the topic of the call)  quality and efficiency of the implementation and management  Potential impact through the development, dissemination and use of project results  Additional requirements on the application of these criteria may be added in the work programmes  For research actions under the IDEAS Programme the sole criterion of excellence will apply  Register as an evaluator - https://cordis.europa.eu/emmfp7

49. Eligibility for Funding  Legal entities from MS and Ac or created under Community law and the JRC  International European interest organisations  Legal entities established in international cooperation partner countries (ICPC), and  International organisations and legal entities from third countries other than ICPC only if: - provided for in SP or WP; or - their contribution is essential for carrying out action; or - provision for funding is provided for in a bilateral agreement between Community and the third country

50. Funding  Reimbursed will be according to the type of action and/or activity  Research and technological development activities: up to 50% of eligible costs, or up to 75% for:  Non profit public bodies  secondary and higher education establishments  research organisations  SMEs  Security related research, for highly reliable capabilities with impact on security of European citizens and targeted to a limited number of public users  Demonstration activities: up to 50%  Other activities including management: up to 100%

51. Actions that will be reimbursed up to 100%:  Frontier research (20% Overheads)  Coordination and support (7% Overheads)  Training and career development of researchers Funding (2)

52. 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…)

53. 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

54. Simplified method  A participant may use a simplified method to calculate its indirect costs if this is in accordance with its usual management and accounting principles  Why this new approach?  The Council wished to introduce a way to facilitate the transition from the Additional Cost model (abolished) towards the declaration of actual indirect costs  EP added the 60% flat rate for indirect costs for specific entities, being unable to identify their indirect costs

55.  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

56. 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

57. 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.

58. 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 first call? Act Immediately !!!!
