6 Instrument overview Building on initiatives in Member States / Associated Countries Pilots Type A Stimulating innovative use of ICT in public & private sector Pilots Type B Mobilisation/Exchanges between practitioners & policy makers Thematic Networks Combining consensus building / awareness raising / large scale implementation Best Practice Network 6

7 Pilots Type A Pilot A-implementation Main features of Pilots Type A Focus on interoperability and building on Member States or Associated Countries existing solutions MS/ACs are the lead actors (Industry has key role in the implementation) The outcome should be an open, common interoperable solution with results widely disseminated and available to all Member States ( 1 project per objective) Scale and participants Legal minimum of 6 Member States or Associated Countries (i.e. the National Administrations or competence centres acting on their behalf) Duration and Funding Duration is typically up to 36 months with a pilot service operating for 12 months The EU contribution is limited to the costs for achieving interoperability only. The indicative Community contribution available is 5-10M / pilot 7

8 Pilots Type A Pilot A - specificities Intellectual property publication and free accessibility of results Possibility to subcontract co-ordination task Reservation of budget for extension of consortium at the later application stage (budget to be set aside in the budget of the co-ordinator - should typically not exceed 15% of the total budget of the pilot) At contracting stage a consortium agreement needs to be concluded 8

9 Pilots Type B Pilot B-implementation Main features of Pilots Type B Carry out an implementation of an ICT based service under realistic conditions. Replication and wide validation of best practices can be specified in objective emphasis on fostering innovation in services Can be take-up completed R&D work, extend already tested prototype services or combine / integrate several partial solutions to realise a new innovative approach Scale and participants Minimum of 4 legal entities from 4 different Member States or Associated Countries Consortia are expected to engage the complete service value chain, including relevant public authorities (sustaining partners), service providers, industrial stakeholders & users Duration and funding Duration is typically months including the operation of a pilot service for an adequate time The Community contribution is typically in the range 2-3 M / pilot 9

10 Themati c Network s Main features of Thematic Networks Thematic Networkimplementation Bring together stakeholders - explore new ways of implementing ICT based solutions. e.g. working groups, workshops, exchanges of good practices in view of action plans, standards and specifications Clearly defined and measurable results - shall be in the public domain Scale and participants Minimum 7 legal entities from 7 different Member States or Associated Countries Duration and funding Duration between months EC contribution is K /network funded normally through lump sums, but workprogramme can specify actual cost funding in 2010 objective 2.1 and 3.2b (see slide 12) 10

11 Best Practice Network BPN-implementation Main features of Best Practice Network (BPN) Only for the Digital Libraries theme, only for a transition period up to Promote the adoption of respective standards and specifications by combining the consensus building/awareness raising function of a network with large-scale implementation on a sufficient mass of digital content The commission can organise Clustering meetings" in order to achieve broad consensus and create the conditions for the widest possible uptake of the recommendations of the BPNs Scale and participants Legal minimum of 7 legal entities from 7 different Member States or Associated Countries Duration and funding The indicative Community contribution available is 3-5 M per BPN 11

30 Electronic Submission Proposal coordinator registers with the EPSS and obtains ids and passwords for himself and his partners The consortium constructs the proposal, then submits it before the deadline Submission failure rate = + 1% Only reason: waiting till the last minute Technical problems Panic-induced errors Too late starting upload, run out of time 30

31 Proposal Part A online forms A1 form Title, acronym, objective etc. free keywords 2000 character proposal abstract previous/current submission (in ICT PSP or econtentplus) A2 form (one A2 form per partner) Address Contact person Organisation type etc. A3 form Cost and funding details 31

32 Participant Identification Code Participants possessing an FP7 PIC can use this number to identify themselves in the EPSS. On entering the PIC, parts of the proposal forms will be filled in automatically The process for assigning a PIC is triggered by a selfregistration of an organisation at : On this website you will also find a search tool for checking if your organisation is already registered (and thus already has a PIC) 32

33 Proposal Part B pdf document RTF Template supplied by the EPSS Format directly linked to evaluation criteria Summary Relevance (bullet points = sections) Impact (idem) Implementation (idem) 33

34 Additional paperwork For all proposals: Each participant must sign a Non exclusion declaration, which is held by the proposal coordinator until asked for by the Commission For Pilot A proposals only: Each participant which is acting in place of a national administration must obtain a Certification of national authorised representative from the national administration, which is held by the proposal coordinator until asked for by the Commission 34

35 Evaluation criteria Evaluation by independent experts on: Relevance Impact Implementation Each criterion is more fully explained by descriptive bullet points Criterion threshold 3/5 Overall threshold - 35

36 Basic principles Remember the three evaluation criteria have fuller descriptive bullet points Familiarise yourself with the bullet points; write them into your proposal The evaluators are looking for them; they are what they are going to score your proposal on 36

37 Pre-proposal check Use the pre-proposal check service* to make sure your proposal is eligible and in scope for this call.. Use the ICT PSP Helpdesk* to check any financial or legal elements you are uncertain about...and do it before you prepare your proposal, not afterwards *described in the Guide for applicants 37

38 Submission Submit your proposal on time! Familiarise yourself with the EPSS system Submit early, submit often Don t make last minute changes And if in trouble, call the EPSS helpdesk!

39 Writing the proposal Divide your effort over the evaluation criteria! (relevance, impact, implementation) Follow the part B structure Don t write too little, don t write too much Don t leave them to figure out why it s good, tell them why it s good Leave nothing to the imagination Make sure your Project Workplan reflects the promises you made in the rest of your proposal 39

40 Finding partners! Through existing projects and networks: Searchable project databases (Ideal-IST, CORDIS), NCPs, Enterprise Europe Network, etc. Find out about the projects and their consortia, google the keyplayers.
