  22. Priorities – Categories/Types of Activities

  23. Budget Categories

  24. Partnership Agreement • Mandatory • To besubmitted to the Agency within 6 months of the signature of grant contract (Signed by the legal rep.) • Joint (one doc signed by all partners) or Bilateral (partner A + coordinating inst.) • Template available to be adapted to specific needs of partnership • Comprehensive : covering all aspects of the project:  • The partners role and responsibilities; • Financial Management; • Project Management; • Project Quality Assurance; • Student issues • Decision/Conflict resolution mechanisms

  25. Part III – The application and Selection procedure

  26. Lessons Learned • Relatively high percentage of ineligible applications due to insufficient understanding of minimum requirements for consortia; • National/regional priorities established for the Partner Country need to be respected and matched with the local needs (assessed in award criterion 'relevance'); • A need to mobilise new institutions both in Programme and Partner Countries, as grant holders and/or partners; • Outreach beyond the capital cities to institutions in the regions and the periphery; • Lack of innovative approaches (new content and methodologies); Erasmus+

  27. Key messages for the 3rd Call • Diversify the type of applicantsinvolving new institutions; • Intensify efforts to encourage the cooperation with Asian countries; • Disseminate widely the opportunity to cooperate with ACP countries; • Pay particular attention to the eligibility criteria, mainly minimum number of nationally recognised HEIs in consortia; • Respect strictly the national / regional priorities addressed to each Partner Country affecting the score on Relevance (threshold of 50% must be reached to pass to the next selection stages); • Insist on the need to empower the Partner Country partners from the early stages of the proposal preparation.
