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

38
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

39
The Evaluation Criteria

• Criteria adapted to each funding scheme
• specified in the work programme
• Three main criteria
• ST 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

New for FP7

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.

41
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

42
The role of experts

• Its hard work!...but its 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

43
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)

46
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

47
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

48
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

49
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.

50
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
