Where do we start?
• Understand range of opportunities
• Most of the programmes will last from 2007-2013
• Strategic objectives behind EU funding
• Be clear about your own objectives!
• Be aware of what EU funding can and can’t provide
• Be realistic about the timescales involved
• Find the relevant information sources (work programme, call document, financial guidance…)
• Address Commission defined topic/ strategic priority very clearly

• Very similar overall structure to 2007 Energy Work Programme
• Limited set of topics expected in 2008 since some of the 2008 money already spent on calls launched in 2007, therefore…
(CP and CSA’s expected – no NOEs. No specific ERA-NETs)
• One General Call expected in 2008
Plus the following separate new calls:• Future and Emerging Technologies (FET)• Joint Energy Call with NMP• A Call for Co-operation with Russia
• Also Calls for Tender

Types of Activity:Co-operation and Capacities
Refer to guidance for each project (e.g. Guide for Applicants)
1) RTD Activities: directly aimed at creating new knowledge, new technology, and products, including scientific coordination.
2) Demonstration activities: designed to prove the viability of new technologies that offer a potential economic advantage, but which cannot be commercialised directly (e.g. testing of products such as prototypes).
3) ‘Other’ activities: dissemination, networking, co-ordination, intellectual property, socio-economic impact studies, feasibility studies for commercial exploitation, support?
4) Management activities: overall legal, ethical, admin. and financial management, pass on EC funds, keep project records and accounts, review project reports and tasks, monitor beneficiaries, project manager, competitive calls…
5) Training activities: costs of providing training, including salary costs, but not the salary costs of those being trained

Reimbursement of Costs:Special Transition Rate – 60%
Calculate the direct costs:
• RTD Costs = €100,000
• Demonstration Costs = €100,000
• Management Costs: = €100,000
Calculate the indirect costs:
• RTD: €100,000 x 0.6 = €60,000
• Demo: €100,000 x 0.6 = €60,000
• Mgt: €100,000 x 0.6 = €60,000
Reimbursement as follows:
RTD: 75% of (€100,000 + €60,000) = €120,000
Demo: 50% of (€100,000 + €60,000) = €80,000
Mgt: 100% of (€100,000 + €60,000) = €160,000
Note that any subcontract costs must be taken out of the direct costs to calculate the correct indirect costs.
Total to be reimbursed = € 360,000

awarded)• FAFB – 14/78 topics with no proposals being
funded, including 2 topics with no proposals submitted

much EC contribution; 6 with too few participants)
• There were still a few proposals being submitted late, incomplete at the deadline or simply ineligible (350 ineligible ERC proposals)

What made a good proposal?
• Clear work plan provided in proposal, with work packages all contributing to overall objective• Responded to a serious industrial problem• Represented step forward from current state of the art• Strong potential impact if successful• Potential for generating high added value (for industry/ EU) • Risk management plans clearly identified
‘Implementation’ was not evaluated

What made a bad proposal?
• No clear EU added-value• Lack of clarity in objectives• Limited progress beyond state of the art• Overlaps rather than builds on similar FP6 projects• Feasibility of the proposed project/ approach not clear• Dissemination plans limited in scope• Proposal ‘too academic’ – not enough industrial relevance. Low impact on world markets and EU industry
