Guide for Applicants

Remember…. • ‘Two stages submission’ • Less specific calls – greater freedom to the research community, but greater risk of misinterpretation – check carefully the ‘scope’ og ‘expected impact’ in the call text! • Interdisciplinary and intersectoral approaches • Innovation – more innovative products, solutions and services

Important to… • Read the Work Program and topics very carefully • Find a topic that matches your research • Identify relevant partners to your project! Sweden + Denmark • Talk to colleagues with experience on EU applications and projects

Its useful to… • Check former EU funded research projects for partners! http: //www. healthcompetence. eu/converis/publi cweb/area/1353 • Find out what have been funded in your field of research in FP 6 and FP 7 http: //ec. europa. eu/research/health/events_en. html • Register as an expert – evaluation of proposals

EU application – what need to be done? Part B Part A Administrative information Attachments ? Scientific proposal /technical annex

How to write successful proposals ? 1. Sell your idea/project proposal! - why bother? (what problem are you solving? ) is it an European priority? or will this establish Europe as a international leader? is the solution/knowledge already available? why now? why you? 2. Risk evaluation 3. Be aware of your strengths and weakness’ 4. Make a project plan: - what will be done? how long time will it take? and when will it be done? who will do the work?

Project plan = Work plan – Time schedule – Resources What is being done? Work plan How long time will it take? and when would it be done? Who is going to do the work? Time schedule Resources
