(*) Access rights to knowledge for the purpose of use are limited to
knowledge generated under the project concerned.
(1) Contractors and Assistant Contractors unable to exploit their own
knowledge might grant access rights at reasonable financial or similar
conditions, instead of royalty-free.
(2) More favourable conditions when beneficiary requests access from
its principal contractor or the other assistant contractors of the
latter.
(3) SME Contractors are the owners of all knowledge resulting from the
research work carried out by the RTD performers.
Box 9 - Key recommendations
V Eligible partners: Check first that you and your partners are eligible
for participation in the Programme (for example: your organisation must
have a registered legal existence, there are minimum consortium
conditions etc.) and also that you are eligible for the particular
activity involved (some activities may be reserved e.g. for SMEs,
organisations in particular sectors of industry….etc.)
V Specific actions and RTD objectives: Check that your proposed work does
indeed address an activity included in the current Call. Ineligible
proposals, or proposals not addressing activities open in the Call, will
be excluded from evaluation.
V Selection criteria: Any proposal evaluated below the thresholds will not
be considered for funding.
V Management: Clearly indicate ability for high quality management adapted
to the size of the project.
V Content: Good proposals show consistency with the five selection
criteria.
V Ethical issues: Clearly describe any potential ethical aspects and
applicable regulatory aspects of the research to be carried out and the
way they are dealt with according to national regulations.
V Presentation: Good proposals are drafted in a clear and easily
understandable way. Good proposals are precise and concise, not “wordy” -
evaluators judge on content, not on number of pages.
V Results: Good proposals clearly show the results that will be achieved,
and how the participants intend to diffuse or exploit these results.
V Completeness: Proposals must be complete, as they are evaluated only on
the basis of the written material submitted. Follow the format of the
Proposal Submission Form. You are highly recommended to use the ProTool
software supplied free of charge by the Commission to proposers.
V Partnership: Partners should discuss and agree beforehand their
respective roles and responsibilities.
V Contract: Check that the model contract conditions for the type of work
that you are proposing are acceptable for your organisations.
V Competition: There will be competition, and a weak element in an
otherwise good proposal might make it lose out to others. Therefore edit
your proposal tightly, strengthen or eliminate weak elements.
Last but not least:
Arrange for your draft proposal to be evaluated by experienced colleagues
before sending it, using the evaluation criteria described in the
Evaluation Manual and in Appendix 6 (PART 2). Use their advice to improve
it before submission.
Notes – PART 1
-----------------------
[i] On the 22/12/98, the Council also decided on the Fifth Euratom
Framework Programme for research and training (CORDIS :
http://www.cordis.lu/fp5/src/decisions.htm)
The specificity of the latter will be described in a separate information
document.
[ii] It will also carry out research and development activities conducted
by the Joint Research Centre
[iii] In the Decisions adopting the Specific Programmes, there can be no
derogation from the financial participation rates set out here, with the
exception of duly justified special cases
[iv][v] The rates may need to be adjusted in individual cases to comply
with the Community framework for State aid for R&D (O.J. C 45, 17.2.1996)
and with article 8 of the WTO Agreement on subsidies and countervailing
measures (O.J. L 336, 23.12.1994). If the project is supported financially
by a Member State or one of its public bodies, the cumulation rule applies,
according to item 5.12 of the above mentioned Community framework.
[vi] In the special case of legal entities which do not keep analytical
accounts, the additional eligible costs generated as a result of the
research will be financed at the rate of 100 %
[vii] EC funding up to maximum of ¬ 22,500
[viii] In the case of industrial host fellowships, this will normally
approximate to 50 % of the total eligible costs
[ix] Mored detailed informa of €22,500
[x] In the case of industrial host fellowships, this will normally
approximate to 50 % of the total eligible costs
[xi] Mored detailed information on this area are given in an explanatory
note, available from CORDIS at :
http://www.cordis.lu/life/calls/199902.htm#refdocs
[xii] The implementation modality “Support for access to research
infrastructure” should not be confused with “Support for research
infrastructures”, which is part of the programme and supports various
actions. The action “Support for access to research infrastructures” is
supported by the horizontal programme “Improving human potential”.
[xiii] European Parliament and Council Decision N° 1999/182/EC of 22
December 1998 concerning the Fifth Framework Programme of the European
Community for research, technological development and demonstration
activities (1998-2002)
[xiv] Council Decision 1999/65/EC of 22 December 1998 concerning the rules
for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities
and for the dissemination of research results for the implementation of the
Fifth Framework Programme of the European Community (1998-2002)
[xv] Council Decisions on the specific programmes, Commission Regulation
implementing the Council Decision 1999/65/EC concerning the rules of
participation, Work Programmes of the specific programmes, model contracts,
Evaluation Manual, …
[xvi] See the Work Programme of the Specific Programme “Confirming the
international role of Community research” and its corresponding Guide for
Proposers.
[xvii] Such calls are based on Community need to support certain of its
policies (standardisation, anti-fraud actions…)
[xviii] See Vademecum on grant management and the rules for public
procurement
[xix] Experts shall be selected following a Call for candidates. However,
in exceptional cases, the evaluation process may be conducted without them.
The Commission's services shall however follow the rules set out in the
Evaluation Manual.
[xx] These include human resources, infrastructure, financial resources
and, where appropriate, intangible property.
[xxi] In certain exceptional cases by paying a fixed lump sum.
[xxii] Anywhere where it is possible for easy reading, the word
“contractor” may be used.
[xxiii] Specific rules related to their participation in this type of
action can be found in the ad hoc information brochure devoted to SMEs.
[xxiv] A single contractor is possible in the case of Concerted Actions,
Thematic and Training Networks
[xxv] A single contractor is possible in the case of Concerted Actions,
Thematic and Training Network Actions, where he carries out the co-
ordinator role.
[xxvi] This role may in exceptional cases be carried by two contractors,
with one responsible for the scientific co-ordination, and the other
responsible for financial matters (e.g.: if the scientific co-ordinator is
unable to receive Community funding due to his status, his location, his
uncertain financial standing, or because he is unable to distribute funds
to participants in due time).
