•“Partner, beneficiary”Project participants that form the project consortium
and benefit from co-financing
• Project vs. ProposalYou write the content of a project, you submit a
“project proposal” that remains a proposal until it has been accepted. If the contract is signed, the proposal becomes a (running) project.

• Text samples (1):3.1 WP structure: Focus on a limited set of ChallengesAchieving the best possible impact for Community support
requires focusing and concentrating effort on key RTD challenges. This work programme proposes a structure around seven challenges that should be addressed if Europe is to be among the world leaders in nextgeneration ICT and their applications. The challenges are driven either by industry and technology objectivesor by socio-economic goals. For each challenge precisetargets and deliverables are identified in a 10 year time frame.

governance models to empower and engage all types of societalgroups and communities, enable them to utilise mass cooperationplatforms and allow governments to incorporate their input whilesafeguarding against misuse. These tools will enable the creation, learning, sharing and tracking of group knowledge that cuts acrosslanguage and cultural interpretation. They should also facilitatetransparency and tracking of inputs to the policy making process. The toolbox must include security, identity and access controls to ensure privacy and, where appropriate, the delineation of constituency domains according to the specific needs of governmentapplications.

Dissemination
• Dissemination means the actions taken to make publicly known the results of the project
– on-line dissemination: website, newsletters, etc.– Articles in journals, scientific papers– Lectures and talk in conferences– Mass-media (radio, TV, newspapers)– Organisation of workshops, seminars, etc.
Section 3. Impact3.2 Dissemination and/or exploitation of project results, and management of intellectual propertyDescribe the measures you propose for the dissemination and/or exploitation of project results, and the management of knowledge, of intellectual property, and of other innovation-related activities arising from the project.

What makes a proposal successful?
The proposed project
• corresponds to the priorities of the call and the priorities the Unit in question considers important
• is innovative and of high scientific quality
• has a convincing consortium: partners are competent for the activities suggested; they are a good “mix”; they have clear roles
• is well written so that evaluators from all cultural, educational and business backgrounds can understand it

No clear description of progress beyond State-of-the-ArtMain criterion for research projects: explain HOW the project will go beyond.
“Fuzziness” of work plan description not convincing in terms of impact and excellence: to remedy, make a clear plan on WHO does WHAT WHEN WHY for WHOSE benefit?
Inconsistencies or incoherencies: A good idea at the beginning is not followed through in the work packages not convincing in terms of management.

• Manageable (big enough to cover all necessary competences, small enough to being manageable)
• Appropriate (it is the most efficient way of tackling the subject and implementing the work)
• Relevant (tackles the WP’s and call’s objectives and EU policies)

Tips and tricks (1)
MODULE 6: Practical steps to a successful proposal
MAKE YOUR PROPOSAL SMART:
![Page 82: D 2.3 y 2.4 Coaching Modules for ... - cordis.europa.eu · for research and development under the programme “Cooperation” implementing the Seventh Framework Programme (2007-2013)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050305/5f6db4e662c85f788b3aa760/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
82
Step 1: Check what the Commission REALLY wantsCheck if this REALLY falls into your and the partners’competences
Step 2: Read the guidelines for proposers, but almost more importantRead the guidelines for evaluators!
Step 3: Write! Use the “3 C”: clear, concise, consistent Step 4: Ask outsiders to read the project and comment!
Ask colleagues not involved to “evaluate” it!

– Equal treatment of all proposals– Unbiased and independent treatmentEqual chance for all!

7.2 Evaluation process (3)
1. Individual evaluation (2): Scores:0 The proposal fails to address the criterion under examination or cannot be judged due to missing or incomplete information;1 Poor The criterion is addressed in an inadequate manner, or
there are serious inherent weaknesses; 2 Fair While the proposal broadly addresses the criterion, there are significant weaknesses; 3 Good The proposal addresses the criterion well, although improvements would be necessary; 4 Very good The proposal addresses the criterion very well, although certain improvements are still possible; 5 Excellent The proposal successfully addresses all relevant aspects of the criterion in question. Any shortcomings are minor.

1. Yes. Given the restricted space for abstracts (2000 characters), it is a concise description
2. Yes and no. It does not mention it expressly but tackles a very new topic, UGC. Thus, indirectly it shows an innovative approach.
