Guide for experts on quality assessment for Erasmus+ centralised actions
nicoleta susanu's insight:

This guide is intended to provide experts with instructions and guidance on how to ensure a high quality standardised assessment of a project proposal  received in response to Calls for Proposals managed by the Education Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (the Agency) and advice on providing accreditation.

The aim of the expert evaluation is to ensure that each application receives an objective assessment from an external person with expertise in the field covered by the action, and that this individual assessment is also subject to a review with at least one other external person who has assessed the same application. This process helps to ensure that applications of the highest quality are selected for funding or obtain accreditation or a label. Experts support the process through evaluating applications, drafting feedback provided to applicants and reviewing the comparative merits of applications with equal scores in order to rank them.

H2020 EU Prize for Women Innovators 2018 reminder 

H2020 EU Prize for Women Innovators 2018 reminder  | EU FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES  AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TIPS | Scoop.it
Research Participant Portal is your entry point for electronic administration of EU-funded research and innovation projects
nicoleta susanu's insight:

Scope:

Europe urgently needs more innovators to stay competitive in the coming decades and to spur economic growth. The large number of well-educated women who, for various reasons, including lack of awareness, do not consider entrepreneurship as an option, represents a tremendous untapped pool of innovation.

Awards have a strong potential to drive innovation through the recognition of achievements and the promotion of role models. Therefore, the European Commission created in 2011 a Prize for Women Innovators to increase public awareness of this issue and to encourage women to exploit the commercial and business opportunities and become entrepreneurs.

The Commission will award up to three "EU Prize for Women Innovators" and one "Rising Innovator Award" (female innovators - aged 30 years or under - at the start of their careers) following a European-wide contest.

  • First Prize 100 000 EUR
  • Second Prize 50 000 EUR
  • Third Prize 30 000 EUR
  • Rising Innovator 20 000 EUR

What is the Seal of Excellence

What is the Seal of Excellence | EU FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES  AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TIPS | Scoop.it
Strengthening synergies between Horizon 2020 and the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) is about building meaningful interactions between investment strategies and interventions as a way to have significant impacts on the economy
nicoleta susanu's insight:

The Seal of Excellence is the high-quality label awarded to projects submitted to Horizon 2020 which were deemed to deserve funding but did not receive it due to budget limits. It recognises the value of the proposal and supports the search for alternative funding.

 

The Seal of Excellence Certificate rewards unfunded H2020 proposals which were above this quality threshold with a high-quality label and the Seal of Excellence holder can then approach alternative regional, national, private or public funding sources. In addition, it helps interested funding bodies willing to invest in promising proposals (including national & regional authorities through European Structural & Investment Funds) to identify these projects more easily.

Call for Digital Innovation Hubs in EU13 Member States

Call for Digital Innovation Hubs in EU13 Member States | EU FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES  AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TIPS | Scoop.it
The European Commission is looking for organisations based in Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, or Slovenia taking on the role of a Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) to participate in a training programme managed by PwC and Oxentia.
nicoleta susanu's insight:

Objectives of the call

As part of the project “Smart Factories in new EU Member States” the European Commission is looking for organisations to take on the role of a “Digital Innovation Hub” (DIH) in EU13 Member States . At least 30 DIHs from 8 countries will be selected to take part in a training programme, which will be managed by PwC and Oxford University Innovation (Oxentia).   

The DIHs should, after having gone through the training programme, be an important pillar for the digitisation of the industry in the selected countries and regions, where at the moment companies (especially those from traditional industrial sectors and SMEs) are investing less in digital technologies than in other parts of Europe or in other sectors.
 

Why apply?

The 30 DIHs that will be selected will participate in a programme which will help them to (further) develop their business plan. The programme will provide training, workshops and mentoring on business development skills and on sustainable activities (including identification of funding opportunities). It will be based on best practices identified by other Digital Innovation Hubs in Europe capitalising on PwC and Oxford University’s state-of-the-art knowledge and experience.

 
Deadline: 22.10.2017
