  13. Horizon 2020 workprogramme is foundhere

  14. Use keywords for your research and find topics

  15. Rules for participation , Work Programme Topics

  16. Guide for Applicants

  17. Remember…. • ‘Two stages submission’ • Less specific calls – greater freedom to the research community, but greater risk of misinterpretation – check carefully the ‘scope’ og ‘expected impact’ in the call text! • Interdisciplinary and intersectoral approaches • Innovation – more innovative products, solutions and services

  18. Important to… • Read the Work Program and topics very carefully • Find a topic that matches your research • Identify relevant partners to your project! Sweden + Denmark • Talk to colleagues with experience on EU applications and projects

  19. Its useful to… • Check former EU funded research projects for partners! http://www.healthcompetence.eu/converis/publicweb/area/1353 • Find out what have been funded in your field of research in FP6 and FP7 http://ec.europa.eu/research/health/events_en.html • Register as an expert – evaluation of proposals

  20. EU application – what need to be done? Part B Part A Administrative information Scientific proposal /technical annex Attachments ?

  21. How to write successful proposals ? • Sell your idea/project proposal! • why bother? (what problem are you solving?) • is it an European priority? or will this establish Europe as a international leader? • is the solution/knowledge already available? • why now? • why you? • Risk evaluation • Be aware of your strengths and weakness’ • Make a project plan: • what will be done? • how long time will it take? and when will it be done? • who will do the work?

  22. Project plan = Work plan – Time schedule – Resources What is being done? How long time will it take? and when would it be done? Who is going to do the work? Work plan Time schedule Resources
