ecosystems
▪ Critical mass of highly innovative, cross border experiments. At least 50% of
the budget should directly benefit SMEs or slightly bigger companies.
Financial Support to Third Parties may be used.
▪ Activities should aim at long-term sustainability and include a business plan
for the DIHs, a plan to attract investors, to address training and skills
development needs and dissemination. Established networks reaching out to
SMEs like the Enterprise Europe Network and the NCP network should be
used.
▪ Selected projects are expected to collaborate on building a network of Digital
Innovation Hubs, covering most regions in Europe.Call Cybersecurity

Lessons learned; tips and
suggestionsDO NOT FORGET – Respect the page limitations in your proposal – RIA/IA 70 pages – CSA 50 pages. – Make sure you address and submit under the correct topic – Read carefully the work programme/call texts including introduction text and address all the requirements – Read carefully the proposal template and its instructions and guidance – and implement them properly, be aware of the evaluation criteria – Check SME status, SME budget is potentially a ranking criterion (in case of ties) – Re-submission: high risk of failure if not truly addressing the new call – Get somebody who was not involved to read your proposal "it was so obvious to the proposers what they were planning that they forgot to mention it“ – Check the PDF conversion of your proposal – Do not wait until the last minute (= last day) to submit
IPR
■ Addressing (… and assessing) IPR Issues
➢ Do not postpone IPR issues to the consortium agreement but outline in the proposal
your strategy for management of IPRs and their protection
For example:
– Check existing patents – state whether they can be a barrier to exploitation and
how you intend to overcome it → Freedom to Operate
– Clearly outline the expected IPRs from your project (capable of
commercial/industrial exploitation)
– Outline how you will handle / share background information and expected project
results and how do you envisage to protect your resultsImpact, Gender & Other
Impact
• Provide the baseline, targets and metrics to measure the impact
Gender
• Do not confuse "gender dimension" (i.e. integrating sex and gender analysis into the
content of the action) with "gender balance" of the research teams (especially in case
of the biophotonic themes and CSA in ICT-05)
Other
• Monitor your mailbox and react immediately if contacted
• Monitor the call/topic website for updates and Q&As/FAQs
• Home: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-
tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/home
• Search for e.g. "ICT-03" or "ICT-05"Venue: Messukeskus Expo and Convention Centre, Helsinki https://messukeskus.com/ Website and registration: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single- market/en/news/digital-excellence-forum- ict-proposers-day-2019
