* Full time equivalent research is measured from the date when the researcher obtained the degree entiling him / her to emark on a doctorate (either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the researcher is recurited or seconded) – even if a doctorate was never started or envisaged.
II. MSCA RISE 2017: Objectives and characteristics
15
A TYPICAL RISE
Consortium of organisations from different countries and sectors (can include countries from outside Europe)
Propose a joint research and innovation programme
Implemented by secondment of “staff” around the consortium (1 to 12 month duration)
Secondments complemented by networking / training events
Duration of the project: 48 months. Max: 540 researchers-month
STAFF:
Must be active at their host in research and innovation activities for 6 months before secondment:
• ER (Phd or > 4 years of research experience)
• ESR (no PhD and < 4 years of research experience)
• ADM, MAN, TECH supporting the research and innovation activities of the project.
Must be reintegrated after secondments (no duration or mechanism specified)
During the Secondment period, STAFF must be devoted 100% to RISE
MSCA Mobility rule does not apply
SECONDMENTS:
Min: 1 month – max: 12 months
Split-stays possible: i.e. an ESR travels for 2 weeks in M6 and 2 weeks in M16 to the same organisation = 1 month during the project
No conditions on the balance of secondments

III. Evaluation Criteria
• Weighs 50%
• Address all subcriteria
• Always keep the general RISE objectives
Remember: Transfer of knowledge and joint research and innovation with a sustainable impact – it is not only a research project!
III. Evaluation Criteria: Part B – Excellence
31
• What are your research and innovation goals?
• Describe briefly the State of the Art and how you will go beyond
• Give details for the methodologies you use
• Inter/multidisciplinarity is an add-value (underline where applicable)
• Gender Aspects: How your outcome affect women and men differently?
32
• What are your transfer of knowledge goals? What kind of knowledge do you want to transfer, and how will you do so?
• How will the secondments contribute to the knowledge transfer?
• What kind of events do you plan, when do you plan them? Think both ways – during the secondments and during the return phases.
• Target for those trainings / events
33
• Highlight what each partner will contribute (for research, innovation and for knowledge transfer)
• Give details on the partners’ expertise
• Give details on their role in the ToK measures. Justify the ToK measures: how will they contribute to the knowledge-sharing objectives?
• Explain why it’s of benefit to the institutions to take part in the ToK measures
34
• Weighs 30%
• Address all subcriteria
• Point out the expected Impact on different levels: staff members, institutions, European society,…
• Develop a vision of your future collaboration on different levels: personal and institutional
• Describe detailed plans for Dissemination and Communication/Outreach, Exploitation
These measures should included be throughout the duration of the project, not only towards the end.
35
III. Evaluation Criteria: Part B – Impact
• Who will gain new knowledge, and how?
• Point out the benefits: Mutual understanding of working environment in academia/non-academia; working outside Europe/in a different research environment
• Researchers benefit of being exposed to other environments
• They can enlargen their networks, publish in high-impact journals, bring the outcome to the market etc. etc.
• Link to EU policies about research careers and employability, e.g. Agenda on new skills and jobs: http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=738&langId=en&pubId=626&type=2&furtherPubs=yes
36
• Create a vision of future collaborations
• Point out plans for collaboration after the end of the project
• Sustainability of the action is crucial
• EU policies to international and inter-sectoral collaboration, e.g. the Key Initiatives of the Innovation Union http://ec.europa.eu/research/innovationunion/index_en.cfm?pg=key
37
• Be specific and give details. Create a plan: What are your key target groups, how, when and via which channel will you reach them? Diseminate RESULTS!
• Who will eventually benefit from your results?
• Develop a PEDR – https://www.iprhelpdesk.eu/Fact-Sheet-Plan-
for-the-Exploitation-and-Dissemination-of-Results-H2020
• IP rights: Check these with your institution and take into account the rights of the non-academic partners
• Exploitation could be an add-value against other competitors
38
• Make a communication plan – deliver your message according to your audience
• Work with the network of your beneficiaries, and with their communication / marketing offices
• Communicate activities and results during the duration of the project
• How are the research results and project activities eventually of interest and of impact towards society at large (in Europe and overseas)?
• Who will eventually benefit? How do you reach these people?
39
• Weighs 20%
• Address all subcriteria
• Start with the work plan: Who does what
when with which resources?
• Management structure: Appropriate but not over complicated
• Explain why the participating institutions are the best ones for their tasks
• Explain why the consortium as a whole is more than the sum of the beneficiaries
40
III. Evaluation Criteria: Part B – Implementation
• Provide a Gantt Chart for the exact time planning
• Do not forget Gender Balance
• Don’t define too many Deliverables and have less Milestones than Deliverables
• Table B2 needs to be filled in with details
• Rule of thumb: • 3 to 4 scientific WPs;
• 1 for Mgt/
• 1 for Dissem&Comm&Exp./ Transfer of Knowledge
41
• Which management structure do you have? Which sub-boards (if any; e.g for secondments or communication) do you have, who reports to whom; and how are decisions taken?
• Committees/boards should be gender balanced
• Outline the role of the coordinator
• Which kind of support will you have (e.g. for administrative tasks)
• Fill the risk table in diligently and prepare it together with your consortium. It is crucial!
42
• This part is not the duplication of the Table in Part 5
• Describe how the participants have the right set of skills, expertise (‘human’ infrastructure) and the right technical infrastructure
• Do not forget infrastructure and support services in terms of administration, human resources, communication etc. etc.
• Include mentioning Quality Labels such as Charter&Code/ HRS4R
43
• Describe why your consortium partners are the only and best to carry out all of the project’s tasks
• Describe complementarities and synergies
• Describe the previous experiences of the partners and why these enable them to carry out their tasks
• Show their committment (do not duplicate the letters of Committment from the 3rd country partners, but refer to them)
44
III. What kind of impact is expected in RISE?
STAFF MEMBERS
Increased set of skills (scientific and transferable), leading to improved employability and career prospects in/outside academia
Increase in higher impact in R&I output, more knowledge and ideas converted in products and services
…
ORGANISATION LEVEL
Enhanced cooperation and transfer of knowledge between sectors and disciplines
Strengthening of international and intersectoral collaborative networks
…
SYSTEM LEVEL
Increase in international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility of researchers´ in Europe
Increase in Europe´s attractiveness as a leading destination for R&I
…
