 'Framework programmes' (FPs) have been the main financial
    tools through which the European Union supports research and
    development activities covering almost all scientific disciplines.


 FPs have been implemented since 1984 and normally cover a
    period of five years with the last year of one FP and the first year
    of the following FP overlapping.


 FP7, however, runs for seven years, since 2007 to 2013

1. Scientific and technical quality, relevant to the
    topics addressed by the call (1/2)
      Justify that our idea meets the corresponding Work Programme
       (WP), indicating particularly in which subtopic.
      Explain why the project needs to be done: which problem
       needs a solution?
      Always quantify objectives. These can be classified in three
       types: scientific, technological and operational.
      The description of the SoA has to be technical, professional
       and unbiased. Make reference whenever possible to articles,
       patents and finished projects.
      The comparison between our idea and the SoA previously
       explained has to be well argued. It is recommended to include
       a table of strengths/weaknesses of each technology.

1. Scientific and technical quality, relevant to the
     topics addressed by the call (2/2)
       Before describing the different work packages (WP),it is
        necessary to establish a general strategy. For example,
        describe the general phases of the project, state that each
        WP will have a responsible technician and tasks will be
        divided following certain criterias, explain how information is
        transferred from one WP to another.
       Diagrams relating to each different WP are essential. It is
        important to be clear.
       It is necessary to do realistic WP relating to the duration of
        the project. Each WP should have deliverables and
        milestones clearly identified.
       Be sure to explain the contingency plans. What happens if an
        intermediate target is not met? Mention alternatives, quantify
        the level of risk.

2. Implementation (1/3)
        An experienced coordinator is always important, but not
         essential.
        Even in large projects, a complex management structure is not
         recommended (do not create unnecessary committees that
         are not credible). Even though, the decisions shouldn’t only fall
         on the coordinator.
        It is worth to mention previous agreements that partners could
         already have; for example, who is responsible of each task:
         administrative leader (the coordinator), the technical leader,
         the responsible for the intellectual property, etc.
        It is necessary to describe correctly the communications and
         its frequency (meeting, call-conferences, report interns, etc).

2. Implementation (2/3)
      In the description of each applicant we still do not talk about
       synergies, but we describe “who is who”. The motivation of this
       entity to participate in the project has to be described clearly.
      The CV’s are important, select minimum two per participant, with 5
       lines each. If the profiles are more scientific, mention
       publications/patents.
      While talking about the consortium, make sure that there are no
       direct competitors and no repeated roles between members.
       Highlight the synergies. Mention if partners have worked together
       before.
      Depending on the call and sector, highlight the name of SMEs or
       partner of a particular region that are inscribed.
      The consortium has to be able to manage the project as well to
       exploit the results. Don’t forget the business!

2. Implementation (3/3)
  Resources is one of the most difficult part and has to be
   done when the budget is finished.
       1.    Justify the overall costs of the budget.
       2.    Justify all cost details, by categories. Provide realistic
             data.
       3.    Explain the way of financing of the funding that is not
             covered by public resources (partners’ own efforts,
             national programmes and complementary regional,
             etc.)

3. Impact (1/2)
          As the objectives, all impacts have to be quantified.
           Saying “this project will have a positive effect on the
           environment” is not enough at all.
          While giving data, justify them making references to
           studies and publications. It is important that impacts are
           credible.
          Is important to mention R+D projects at National or
           European level in the same technological line, or that
           cope with the same need applying another technology.

3. Impact (2/2)
      Depending on the type of project, the exploitation and
       dissemination of results could be a critical section.
      Is important to include a good intellectual protection plan,
       including technological monitoring tasks.
      Define clearly the exploitation in the proposal, although it
       could be sometimes far away. Imagination is necessary!
      The dissemination, if required in this call, has to be very
       quantified.

Eligible consortia

 In most cases EU research funding through FP7 is to
 be sought by building a consortium in order to submit a
 project proposal in response to a call. The eligibility of
 these consortia also varies according to different
 conditions related to the type of action of instrument.
 These instruments are set out in Annex III ‘Funding
 Schemes’ of the Rules for Participation, while the
 minimum conditions for eligibility are detailed in Articles

• SOLE PARTICIPANTS
  Where the minimum conditions for an indirect action are satisfied
  by a number of legal entities, which together form one legal entity,
  the latter may be the sole participant in an indirect action, provided
  that it is established in a Member State or Associated country. The
  participation of natural persons will ensure that the creation and
  development of scientific excellence and ability are not limited to
  Community funding of projects involving only legal persons,
  ensuring also the participation of SMEs that are not legal persons.

But remember…
 Jordan can participate as partner in any project of the
  COOPERATION block Their participation does not account for
  the minimum eligible consortium

 Jordan can participate as partner in any project of the
  CAPACITIES block. Their participation does not account for the
  minimum eligible consortium except in INCO calls.

 They can participate in some of the projects of the IDEAS block
  (not alone)

 They can participate in some of the projects of PEOPLE block.

 Sometimes the Europeans don’t know it! Sell yourself!

 If you want to be coordinators, check every call to be sure.

Previous contacts
    If the researcher is specialist in a field, he probably
     knows many other scientists...
    But need to avoid:
       – Repetitive consortium: too similar partners
       – Same consortium submitting several proposals
         in the same calll
       – Too many partners from the same country

European projects in the same field

    One of the best sources, as it gives you contacts that
     already have experience in the framework
     programme...

  • 49. 2. Implementation (1/3)  An experienced coordinator is always important, but not essential.  Even in large projects, a complex management structure is not recommended (do not create unnecessary committees that are not credible). Even though, the decisions shouldn’t only fall on the coordinator.  It is worth to mention previous agreements that partners could already have; for example, who is responsible of each task: administrative leader (the coordinator), the technical leader, the responsible for the intellectual property, etc.  It is necessary to describe correctly the communications and its frequency (meeting, call-conferences, report interns, etc).
