18. 18 What proposals do we want to encourage? Visionary scope 5 - 10 years from now, addressing real Information Society needs Multiplier effect  Benefits beyond project participants  Technological, industrial, economic & societal impact  Supporting standards & European policies Key players Consortia of appropriate size and composition involving key European players

19. 19 A Successful Proposal: Apply Common sense A Convincing Proposal Balanced Consortium Balanced Consortium Clear Views Participants’ Interest Three Elements:

20. 20 Participants’ Interest A proposal is in the participants’ interest Do not make a proposal if you do not see your interest A proposal meets a need Organisation expertise Belong to the organisation strategy A proposal fits the financial objectives Community Contribution alone is not a Legitimate Driver

21. 21 Balanced Consortium Partners should complement each others  No token partners  European balance: beyond legal requirements, do not force European spread Number of partners depends on the workplan  Balance partners workload  Involve the right people from each partner

22. 22 Clear Views Read carefully the workplan Proposal should meet the call requirements Make a candid description Write simply what you want to do Avoid inflation of words and concepts Have realistic expectations Check your timeframe Have meaningful Deliverables Align the project cost with the work to do

23. 23 A Convincing Proposal Successful proposals are simple They are realistic They show proposers know what they want to do   Ask an outsider to assess your proposal
