Ideal-ist transnational NCP project.

Project description

Strengthening the Digital National Contact Points through transnational collaboration

Under Pillar II of Horizon Europe, the EU's Research and Innovation framework programme (2021-27), Cluster 4 focuses on projects in the areas of Digital, Industry and Space. The EU-funded IDEAL-IST project will support the Digital National Contact Points (NCPs), independent organisations including ministries, academies of science and research agencies that provide valuable support to researchers working on the Horizon Europe projects. IDEAL-IST will provide knowledge and tools while enhancing transnational cooperation among digital NCPs and their collaboration with other Cluster 4 NCPs. Strengthening the NCPs that support digital destinations will have an essential downstream impact on project outcomes and on European competitiveness.

Objective

The Ideal-ist project will give all NCPs with responsibility for the digital destinations in Horizon Europe Cluster 4 (3, 4 and 6) access to the knowledge, tools, and experiences they need to ensure top quality services to their clients. In turn, these services can result in inventive, catalytic European projects. Over 30 NCP teams will pursue this ideal working together and operating across national boundaries, resulting in stronger services exceeding the capacity of a single organisation in a purely national context.
Ideal-ist has clear objectives to meet this goal:
O1: Access to a rich knowledge base on the digital landscape of opportunities.
O2: Offerings that improve and expand their working tools and services.
O3: Interaction among proposers, NCPs, the Commission and strategic partnerships on a personal level that enhances expertise and participation.
The objectives translate to four sets of activities:
1. Manage, share and maintain Ideal-ist's knowledge base during and beyond the adjustment to Horizon Europe, according to the FAIR principles and in cooperation with Bridge2HorizonEurope.
2. Strengthen the sense of community and teamwork among digital NCPs and other Cluster 4 NCPs.
3. Offer services specifically designed for digital NCPs and try their application in the other areas of Cluster 4
4. Offer proposer-oriented services, focusing on the digital parts of Cluster 4, and try their application in the other areas of Cluster 4.
Activities will be monitored using an agile methodology via an Activity Execution Dashboard (AED), allowing the project to deliver activities and tasks, identify deviations and propose corrective actions, measure progress towards success and quantify impact to achieve the high-level objectives. Ideal-ist will enrich the designated activities of NCPs with transnational activities going beyond national mandates, contributing to enhanced natural cooperation, leveraging the services and creating economies of scale.
