STEPS (prior to publication call / tender):

0. (Influence call / tender text)

1. Investigate (research) topic

2. Exploration consortium

3. Draft call / tender (leak)

4. Identify coordinator

5. Establish Core Group of consortium

6. Refine (research) topic

7. Call / tender published

How to write winning proposal?


STEPS (cont’d):

8. Investigate guidelines (fulfil all criteria, e.g. SMEs, budget)

9. Identify WP / WB leads (Core Group)

10. Organize proposal meeting (face to face; own costs)



Investigate call text thoroughly


Identify keywords


STEPS (cont’d):

11. Write draft (pre)proposal

12. Control budget (coordinator / WP leads)

13. Extend consortium

14. Obtain all administrative data consortium members

14. (contact EC Project Officer)

15. Contact national Programme Committee member

16. Receive comments / write final consistent proposal / do not accept revisions last two weeks

17. Submit (pre)proposal



Proposal 0. Abstract: informative, concise

1. Scientific and/or technical quality / Excellence (H2020)

- Concept and objectives

- Progress beyond the state-of-the-art

- Scientific / Technological methodology and associated work plan

2. Implementation

- Management structure and procedures (Coordinator, WP leads, EAB,

communication strategy, conflict resolution)

- Individual participants

- Consortium as a whole

- Resources to be committed



Proposal(cont’d)

3. Impact

- Expected impacts

Reduction of vulnerability to droughts

Identification of the most sensitive areas and sectors in Europe

Better preparedness and risk reduction measures in support of EU policies and international efforts (Hyogo Framework for Action)

Wider EU policy reference

Contribution to the European Research Area

EU added value

Links with other EU-projects and/or proposal

Integration of national and international research activities

- Dissemination



Proposal (make attractive package!)

Think about layout (use graphs, schemes, text boxes)



Outcome (hope to achieve)
