Common failings of understanding Failure to read all of the documentation rather than just viewing the website

Common failings of understanding Failure to read all of the documentation rather than just viewing the website Costs – what is eligible as a direct cost and what about subcontractors? – Annotated Model Grant Agreement Annotated Model Grant Agreement One Stage versus Two Stage competition – Only Excellence and Impact evaluated in a 15 page proposal for Stage 1 of Two Stage – Eligibility criteria must be met but team capability not assessed

Get on the right team Be part of EU initiatives (e.g. technology platforms) already Seek partners with a winning track record – All previous participants (since 1990) published herehere UK Universities have highest success rate of all EU sectors An additional (unfunded) international element can earn extra points Webinar last Monday, slides available on request

Write the right proposal Evaluators are people too – Make their job easier by clearly sign-posting items that will earn you points Think what your competitors might say – If you can’t cover the full scope for the available budget, somebody else will claim they can Pay attention to Impact – Easy to get carried away with the sexy technology, don’t forget the ‘so what’ factor Social Sciences and Humanities are embedded within all topics and earn points
