1 Day SME Measures (CRAFT) Workshop in Brussels
30 January 2008
Austria
In order to answer requests, the Finance Helpdesk will be holding an open 1 Day FP7 SME Measures (CRAFT) Workshop on 30 Jan 2008, in Brussels, Belgium.
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
· A Forms
· Filling in Part B template
· Overview of proposal sections
· Evaluation Criteria
· Budget Preparation (Spreadsheet exercise)
· IPR Issues (Access rights v Cost investment for participants)
· Financials (funding regimes, overheads, activities, funding levels, cost statements)
· Consortium Agreement
· Ethical Issues
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first register – first serve basis.
