Some Advice
• Get in touch with your NCP and other intermediaries
• For the russian organisations, get in touch as soon as possible with EU organisations interested to cooperate and submit a proposal
• Look at the EU “List of Projects” and the Technology Platforms reports
• Be aware that drafting a proposal and establishing the right consortium takes time, particularly as the EU coordinator
• Read carefully the Work Programme (topic, funding scheme, expected impact, etc.) and other documents (e.g. guides for applicants)
• Do not assume that the independent evaluation experts know everything you know
