Ideal-ist is holding a proposal check event for ICT & related calls in Horizon 2020 with a November 2019 deadline. The event will take place on October 3rd in Brussels (hosted by NCP Flanders), but proposers will be able to participate remotely, as well.
Full proposal check events offer proposers a chance to improve the quality of project proposals based on feedback from experienced external experts and national contact points (NCPs). The event aims to transfer useful knowledge and increase proposers' chances for funding.
Procedure
On-site attendants
Interested proposers will provide a good first draft of their proposal for the selected ICT call topic (see the list below) and receive qualified feedback from experienced evaluators immediately during the proposal check session. The session consists of the evaluators reading the proposal and a feedback round.
It will be possible to receive additional consulting by experienced NCP staff.
Remote attendants
Ideal-ist will offer a remote evaluation for selected participants. Experienced evaluators will sit in Brussels and meet with proposers via Skype. The remote nature will require that proposals are sent electronically.
All participating experts will sign a confidentiality declaration.
There are a limited number of slots for this event, so early applications are encouraged!
Selection of participants
Proposers who apply to participate at the event go through a case-by-case selection process. After their expression of interest via an online form, they will be contacted in the following days to assess the degree of completion of their proposals. Short-listed candidates will be invited based on the available places.
- The deadline for expression of interest is September 24.
- The deadline for sending the final draft that will be reviewed will be September 27.
Who can attend?
The event will support proposals for ICT calls under H2020, with a deadline in November 2019. Admission to the event is for the coordinator (i.e. one person, mandatory) plus one representative from a project partner institution (i.e. one optional person). In exceptional cases, the coordinator may name a proxy to attend.
The evaluators on-site do not check the eligibility of the proposers to submit a proposal for the topic. Therefore it is strongly recommended that the proposers have an abstract of their proposal checked by their National Contact Points (NCP).
The event is free of charge, however, slots are limited. Ideal-ist does not refund travel expenses for the proposers.
