What have we learned so far… • Hire someone in charge of applications • Try to get intelligence about call as soon as possible • Get in touch with H2020 country representative • Try to go as a partner (to learn) and then try to coordinate an application • Read call very carefully • Start informal contacts with potential partners • Do serious brain-storming in-house • Come up with conceptual outline • Organise first workshop. Offer just accommodation • Combine university, think tanks and practitioners
Good luck with G2020! • Remember, if you need a partner from • the south of Europe, think about us…
