Project description
Improving NCP services for the EIC and ARF
The network of National Contact Points (NCPs) is the main structure that provides advice, practical information and assistance to participants in Horizon 2020. NCPs are also present in many non-EU and non-associated countries. The EU-funded Access2EIC project works to increase and facilitate transnational cooperation within the network of NCPs focused on the Enhanced European Innovation Council (EIC) Pilot and the specific objectives of Access to Risk Finance (ARF). The coordination and support action will develop an advanced, more compatible and professionalised NCP service across Europe to help simplify access to EIC Pilot calls and reduce entry obstacles for newcomers. Access2EIC will also identify and share good practices.
Objective
ACCESS2EIC is a 16-months coordination and support action aimed to empower and facilitate transnational cooperation within the network of National Contact Points - NCPs focused on the Horizon 2020 European Innovation Council - EIC Pilot and the specific objective Access to Risk Finance - ARF. It involves a consortium made of formally appointed NCPs under ‘Future and Emerging Technologies – FET’, ‘Innovation in SMEs – SME’ and ‘Access to Risk Finance - ARF’ areas of Horizon 2020.
Overall, the network will aim at:
- developing an improved, more consistent and professionalized NCP service across Europe, thereby helping simplify access to EIC Pilot calls, and lowering the entry barriers for newcomers;
- identifying and sharing good practices and raising the general standard of support to EIC and ARF programme applicants in close collaboration with other NCPs and EU networks, taking into account the novelties of those instruments and the diversity of actors that make up their constituency.
