1 Day SME Measures (CRAFT) Workshop in Brussels
13 Mars 2008
Belgium
There have been some major rule changes between FP6 and FP7. In FP7, RTD Performers like Universities and Research organisations, can be the Coordinators of "Research for the benefit of SME" projects.
The Workshop is aimed at people from organisations who are interested in taking part in SME Measures (CRAFT) project proposals. The Workshop will specifically cover the financial rules and regulations related to this type of project and specifically the derogations from other types of Framework Program research proposals.
For example, the price and payment modalities agreed between RTD performers and SMEs should reflect the value of the intellectual property rights and knowledge acquired: the price of a licence should normally be lower than the price for ownership.
The workshop shortcuts the learning curve for participating in a project proposal with a higher chance of success.
The Workshop will cover:
Overview of Call Activities in “SME Measures” Workprogram
SME and SME-AG funding schemes
Types of participants (SMEs, SME-associations, RTD performers, Others)
Submission process

Overview of proposal sections

Financials (funding regimes, overheads, activities, funding levels, cost statements)

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first register – first serve basis.
