Use H2020 Consider H2020 as part of your overall research
funding strategy – medium term results – combine with shorter-term projects – ideally linking / showing progression
Be realistic – success rates can be low (depending on call 1:30 – 1:4)
Perseverance is key - resubmit – ESR is very valuable – address the comments of the evaluators
Take a long term view (3-4 years) – dip your toe as a partner – progress to a WPL – and then (maybe!) a coordinator role
It has worked for companies!
