Evaluation Peer-Review System Two-stage evaluation procedure - If specified Evaluation on a non-anonymous basis Unless otherwise specified in call for proposal Experts Candidature Submission http://www.cordis.lu/experts/fp6_candidature.htm
Evaluation Criteria • Relevance to the objectives of the call • Potential impact • S&T Excellence • Quality of the consortium • Quality of the management • Mobilisation of resources
“Affirmative Score” • SMEs • Gender Issues • New Members & INCO countries • Ethical and Safety aspects • Engaging actors beyond research community; “public acceptance”, education, investors (banks, jvc..)
Financing Type of activity Research and Technological Development (including innovation related activity) - 50% (100% AC) Demonstration - 35% (100% AC) Training - 100% (100% AC) Consortium Management - reimbursed up to 100% within the limit of 7% of community contribution Other activities specific to an instrument
Financing Cost Models: definition • FC: actual direct and indirect costs mostly for industry • FCF (variant of FC): actual direct costs + flat rate for indirect costs (20% of total actual direct costs, except subcontracting) for SMEs • AC: actual additional direct costs + flat rate for indirect costs (20% of total actual additional direct costs, except subcontracting) mostly for academia • Eligible costs - no predefined cost categories - each participant follows his accounting conventions
Consortium agreement • Regulates internal organisation of consortium • Compulsory except otherwise mentioned in the call for proposal • May not conflict with the contract • Not signed nor approved by the Commission • After or (preferably) before signing the contract but some decisions must be made by the participants before signature of contract (e.g. IPR issues) • Non binding guidelines published by the Commission
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 • It is in the first 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.
