  23. FP7 / Ideas • Role of the Scientific Council • Establish overall scientific strategy and preparation of work programmes (incl. calls for proposals, evaluation criteria) • Define scientific management: peer review methodology; selection and accreditation of experts; monitor quality of operations and evaluate programme implementation • Assure communication with the scientific community

  24. FP7 / IdeasWork Programme / Launch strategy • Two streams of activity are foreseen: - Early stage independent investigators (“Starting Grants”) > 2 < 9 years after PhD up to 5 years project ~1/3 of the annual budget: 300-350 M€ per year (200 grants) - Established Investigators (“Advanced Grants”)

  25. Principal Investigator: Potential to perform world class research Quality of research output: Has the Principal Investigator published in high quality peer reviewed journals or the equivalent? To what extent are these publications ground-breaking and demonstrative of independent creative thinking and capacity to go significantly beyond the state of the art? Intellectual capacity and creativity: To what extent does the Principal Investigator's record of research collaborations, project conception, supervision of students and publications demonstrate that he/she isable to confront major research challenges in the field, and to initiate new productive lines of thinking? 2. Quality of the proposed research project Ground-breaking nature of the research: Does the proposed research address important challenges in the field(s) addressed? Does it have suitably ambitious objectives, which go substantially beyond thecurrent state of the art (e.g. including trans-disciplinary developments and novel or unconventiona approaches)? Potential impact: Does the research open new and important scientific, technological or scholarly horizons? Methodology: a) is the outlined scientific approach (including the activities to be undertaken by the individual team members) feasible? (Stage 1) b) is the proposed research methodology (including when pertinent the use of instrumentation, other type of infrastructures etc.) comprehensive and appropriate for to the project? Will it enable the goals of the project convincingly to be achieved within the timescales and resources proposed and the level of risk associated with a challenging research project? (Stage 2) 3. Research Environment Transition to independence: Will the proposed project enable the Principal Investigator to make or consolidate the transition to independence? Hosting institution (normally applicant legal entity): Does the institution hosting the project have most of the infrastructure necessary for the research to be carried out? Is it in a position to provide an appropriate intellectual environment and infrastructural support and to assist in achieving the ambitions for the project and the Principal Investigator? Participation of other legal entities: If it is proposed that other legal entities participate in the project, in addition to the applicant legal entity, is their participation fully justified by the scientificadded value they bring to the project?

  34. Minimum condition,general rule, at least 3 independent participants from 3 different MS or Ac Additional conditionscan be established by the SP or WP (number or type of participant, place of establishment) Specific conditionsmay 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 Conditions for participation

  35. 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% Upperfunding limits (1)

  36. Actions that will be reimbursed up to100%: Frontier research Coordination and support actions Training and career development of researchers Upper funding limits (2)

  37. 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…) Reimbursement of eligible costs

  38. Participants may charge eligible directandindirect costs Reimbursement ofindirect costs: For all: either actual overhead, or simplifiedmethod, 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 Indirect Cost

  39. It aims at certifying the methodology of calculating(average) personnel costs and overhead rates Waives the obligation of certificates for interim payments Simplified certificate for final payments Valid throughout FP7, on a voluntary basis, must be accepted by the EC Particularly aimed at legal entities with multiple participation Certification on the methodology

  40. Under FP7 we do not talk anymore about audit certificates but aboutcertificate on financial statements (CFS) Certificate on financial statements: Mandatory when requested funding reaches 375,000 Euro per beneficiary (except for project of 2 years or less: CFS submitted at the end) If above the threshold, mandatory for every beneficiary, except if a certification on the methodology is provided Certification on financial statements

  41. Participant Guarantee Fund (“the Fund”): 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 Risk avoidance mechanism (1)

  42. Sources: Financial Regulation/Implementing Rules, FP7 and Rules for Participation “Contract” becomes “Grant Agreement” “Contractor” becomes “Beneficiary” “Instruments” become “Funding Schemes” “Audit certificate” becomes “Certificate on Financial Statement” The results of the project (knowledge in FP6)becomes“Foreground” Pre-existing know-how becomes“Background” Terminology

  43. Unless exempted by the call for proposals, participants will have to draw up a “consortium agreement”, to govern the following: (a) The internal organisation of the consortium (b) The distribution of the Community financial contribution (c) Additional rules on dissemination and use including intellectual property rights arrangements, as appropriate (d) The settlement of internal disputes. Consortium agreement

  45. The Commission has invited the Member States to submit candidates as independent experts in order to be included in its specific database as panel Chairs and panel members and a pool of referees. Panel Chairs are expected to be internationally recognised, senior scientists in their fields. Panel members are expected to be senior scientists in their fields, actively pursuing research at the front line. Who evaluates proposalsHow to become evaluator for FP7Ideas
