CRAFT (Co-operative Research)
 SMEs from different countries assign a significant part of the
required scientific and technological research to ‘RTD
performers’.
 Projects are relatively short-term (1-2 years).
 Intellectual Property Rights (IPR):
 The consortium may decide to follow the default regime, which gives
full ownership of all project results ("foreground") and IPR to the
SMEs.
 The consortium may reach an agreement in its own best interest, as
long as the SMEs are provided with all the rights that are required
for their intended use and exploitation of the project results.

Who can participate?
 Any undertaking, university or research centre or other
legal entity, whether established in a:
- Member State (MS)
- Associated country (AC) , or
- third country
 Joint Research Centre (JRC) - is deemed to be
established in another MS or AC
 International organisations and participants from third
countries can participate only if in addition to the minima
Conditions for participation
 Minimum condition, general rule, at least 3
independent participants from 3 different MS or Ac
 Additional conditions can be established by the SP or
WP (number or type of participant, place of
establishment)
 Specific conditions may also apply for:
– Frontier research actions, at least 1 legal entity established in a
MS or Ac
– Collaborative projects addressing the participation of
International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC) minimum is
4 participants, 2 of which from MS or Ac and another 2 from
ICPC countries unless otherwise foreseen in the WP
The Evaluation Criteria
• Criteria adapted to each funding scheme
– specified in the work programme
• Three main criteria:
– S&T Quality (relevant to the topic of the call)
• Concept, objective, work-plan
– Implementation
• Individual participants and consortium as a whole
• Allocation of resources
– Impact
• Contribution to expected impacts listed in work
programme
• Plans for dissemination/exploitation
Become an expert evaluator
• The benefits of being an evaluator are as
follows:
– You spend about one week in Brussels learning the
process and doing the work.
– You meet all the Commission staff.
– You meet all the other evaluators from across Europe.
– You learn what the current thinking and state of the art
is.
– You become part of the community.
– Frequently it facilitates your own future participation in
the program.
• If you have an industrial background or if you are a
female candidate - you should mention it in your
application, since it might give you an advantage.
The role of experts
• Experts agree to terms and conditions of an
“appointment letter”
– In particular, clear rules on confidentiality, and conflicts
of interest
• Typically, an individual will review 6-8 proposals
“remotely”….
• …then spend a couple of days in Brussels
• Some will participate in “hearings” with the
consortia
• Travel and subsistence reimbursed
– Plus €450 honorarium per day
• Names published after the evaluations
The role of experts
It’s hard work!...but it’s also an excellent chance
to:
– Meet new faces, network and discuss new ideas
• Many new project partnerships, have been spawned
during evaluations!
– Understand what makes a good proposal
• Calls for “candidates” published 14 December
– Call for applications from individuals…
– …and from institutions
– Applications via CORDIS:
https://cordis.europa.eu/emmfp7/index.cfm
Redress Procedure
New in FP7
 In the past, complaints arrived haphazardly



Handled at different levels
No systematic treatment
No common record
The redress procedure does not give a new
right of appeal…
 …but it will ensure a consistent and coherent
approach to complaints



Establish “due process”
Uphold principles of transparency and equal
treatment

Reimbursement of eligible costs
 Most funding schemes, particularly at beginning
of FP7 will use reimbursement of eligible costs
Eligible
 actual (average personnel costs may be used if do not differ
significantly from actual)
 incurred during duration of project
 in accordance with the beneficiary usual accounting and
management principles
 recorded in the accounts of beneficiary
 used for the sole purpose of achieving the objectives of the
project
Non-eligible (identifiable indirect taxes including
VAT…)
Indirect Cost
 Participants may charge eligible direct and indirect
costs
 Reimbursement of indirect costs :
– For all:
 either actual overhead, or simplified method, or
 flat rate of 20% of direct costs
– For Non profit Public Bodies, Secondary and
Higher Education establishments, Research
Organisations, and SMEs unable to identify real
indirect costs, may apply for a flat rate of 60% for
funding schemes with Research, Technological
Development & Demonstration
– For Coordination and Support Actions limit of
7% of direct costs
Guarantee Fund
 Participants are technically responsible to carry out the
project jointly and severally towards the Community and
have to carry out the work of a defaulting participant
 All beneficiaires contribute to the Fund to insure
against losses of a defaulting participant
 The contribution shall not exceed 5% of the EC
financial contribution due to each participant
 Financial interests generated by the Fund will serve to
cover financial risk
 In principle this amount will be reimbursed at the end of
the action
Payment modalities
 One pre-financing (upon entry into force) for the
whole duration of the action
 Interim payments based on financial statements
(EC contribution= amounts justified & accepted *
funding rate)
 Retention (10%)
 Final payment
Consortium - Legal aspects
 The Grant Agreement is the legal agreement
between the European Commission and the
Consortium. It states the start- and end-date of the
project the amount of the grant and all legal
provisions. The Grant Agreement is signed by all
partners.
 The Consortium Agreement is a document that
partners finalize amongst themselves, which
allows them to define in detail the administrative
and management provisions necessary to carry
out their project.
IPR – Intellectual Property Rights
Ownership: each participant owns the foreground it
generated
Joint Ownership: when foreground is generated jointly and it
is impossible to determine the respective share of the work –
the joint owners must reach an agreement
Access Rights
• Under certain conditions, a participant in a project must grant
the other participants access rights to its foreground or
background if this is needed for implementation of use
• However, participants may define the background needed
in any manner, and may exclude specific background (not
necessarily prior to signature of EC grant agreement)
• Unless agreed by the owner, access rights do not include
right to sub-license
How to Proceed - Flow Chart
 Read Carefully WP/WPs
 Identify subjects of your expertise/interest in
the WP/WPs
 Check for “best fit” and roadmaps
 Is it in the present call?
Act Immediately !!!!
How to Proceed- Join the Club
 Identify the European leading groups in the field
 Try to Join Forces
