Evaluation Peer-Review System Two-stage evaluation procedure - If specified Evaluation on a non-anonymous basis Unless otherwise specified in call for proposal Experts Candidature Submission http: //www. cordis. lu/experts/fp 6_candidature. htm

Evaluation Criteria Relevance to the objectives of the call Potential impact S&T Excellence Quality of the consortium Quality of the management Mobilisation of resources

“Affirmative Score” SMEs Gender Issues New Members & INCO countries Ethical and Safety aspects Engaging actors beyond research community; “public acceptance”, education, investors (banks, jvc. . )

Financing Type of activity Research and Technological Development (including innovation related activity) - 50% (100% AC) Demonstration - 35% (100% AC) Training - 100% (100% AC) Consortium Management - reimbursed up to 100% within the limit of 7% of community contribution Other activities specific to an instrument

Financing Cost Models: definition ü FC: actual direct and indirect costs mostly for industry ü FCF (variant of FC): actual direct costs + flat rate for indirect costs (20% of total actual direct costs, except subcontracting) for SMEs ü AC: actual additional direct costs + flat rate for indirect costs (20% of total actual additional direct costs, except subcontracting) mostly for academia • Eligible costs - no predefined cost categories - each participant follows his accounting conventions

Consortium agreement Regulates internal organisation of consortium Compulsory except otherwise mentioned in the call for proposal May not conflict with the contract Not signed nor approved by the Commission After or (preferably) before signing the contract but some decisions must be made by the participants before signature of contract (e. g. IPR issues) Non binding guidelines published by the Commission
