Nice to meet you !
MY NAME IS….
• Proposal preparation and submission process
• Rules for participation and evaluation

Agenda
• Proposal preparation and submission process
• Rules for participation and evaluation
• Novelties in H2020
How to prepare & submit a proposal?
• Follow strictly the instructions
• Read carefully the work programme topic (+ annexes)
• Respect admissibility and eligibility criteria– Basic checks by electronic submission system
• Be clear and explicit– Evaluators must judge only what they read and have limited time
• Convince the evaluation experts regarding ALL selection and award criteria
• Let someone do a mock evaluation before submission– No pre-proposal checks
• Do not wait until the last minute to submit your proposal

Be focused and concrete: Build on fairly mature application or business concepts and fill the gapThink to bring the products / services on the market at the end of the project
Successful proposal- some hints
Build on market understanding and business expertise:Ideally, coordinator with good expertise in the specific marketDemonstrable capability to commercialise the products and services developed
Demonstrate a clear motivation to commercialise the products and services:Market entry plan (marketing strategy & business plan)Previous achievements in the specific market
Focus on practical impact: Maximise the use of the available signals Prefer trials and large scale demonstration, involving final users in their real life procedures Produce practical tools useful for the GNSS developer community
Select applications where EGNOS and Galileo differentiators are key for the product/service success

For Innovation actions to determine theranking, the score for the criterion ‘impact’
will be given a weight of 1.5.
Interpretation of the scores
0—Proposal fails to address the criterion or can’t be assessed due to missing or incomplete information.
1—Poor The criterion is inadequately addressed, or there are serious inherent weaknesses.
2—Fair Proposal broadly addresses the criterion, but there are significant weaknesses.
3—Good Proposal addresses the criterion well, but a number of shortcomings are present.
4—Very Good Proposal addresses the criterion very well, a small number of shortcomings are present.
5—Excellent Proposal successfully addresses all relevant aspects of the criterion; any shortcomings minor.
Done by experts in panel review that will rank the proposals that passed the
thresholds according to the results of the evaluation
Award of the grants will be made on the basis of this ranking, and the available
budget.
Information on the outcome of the evaluation — Rejection of proposals that
are not on the list
If your proposal is successfully evaluated, we will send an ‘evaluation information
letter’ to the proposal coordinator, to inform you of the results of the evaluation
and to invite you to take part in the grant agreement preparation phase.
Reserve list
We may keep a number of proposals in reserve in case proposals are withdrawn,
excluded or extra funding becomes available.

Evaluation ProcessCommission/Agency ranked list and
Information on the outcome of evaluation
Each applicant is responsible for:
• identifying any potential ethical issues
• handling ethical aspects of their proposal
• detailing how they plan to address them in sufficient detail already
at the proposal stage.
The Ethics part of each proposal (part A in SEP, part B 5) should include
description of issues and arrangements!
Ethics self-assessment
- CONSULT ETHICS ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE!For guidance incl. documents to be provided
ATTACH THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
Indicate pages in the proposal
Ethics self-assessment
Communication in H2020
Dissemination and Communication activities are not the same!
The communication activities:
- Evaluation under criterion ‘impact’
- Must already be part of the proposal (either as a specific work package for communication or by including them in another work package).
- Must make the research activities known to multiple audiences and address the public policy perspective of EU research and innovation funding

Agenda
• Proposal preparation and submission process
• Rules for participation and evaluation
• Novelties in H2020
1) Negotiation becomes Grant Agreement Preparation
– No longer "recommendations" in ESR
2) Obvious Clerical Errors
– For example Requested EU funding = 0

3) New criteria and sub-criteria– Different from FP7 – use self-evaluation form and
carefully check the template (ESR-award criteria)!
– Award criteria: More sub-criteria/elements compared to FP7
– Scores: Clear difference between weakness and shortcoming -> above below threshold
