Horizon 2020 rules outline funding rates and eligibility criteria for different types of actions in 2017. The evaluation process is designed to be fair, impartial and efficient, taking around 5 months. Proposals are evaluated based on excellence, impact, and quality of implementation against weighted criteria. Successful proposals clearly address the call topics, have measurable objectives, and convincingly demonstrate how impacts will be achieved and work implemented.

21. Be focused and specific
Build on fairly mature application or business concepts and fill the gap
Explain what is new, your added value, how you will move forward
Build on technical and market understanding and expertise
Ideally, entities with sufficient knowledge of specific markets
Consortium bringing all needed competences: clear roles, no overlap
Demonstrate a clear motivation to commercialise the products and services
Market entry plan (marketing strategy & business plan)
Previous achievements in the specific market
Show your commitment and capability to go to market
Focus on practical impact
Include trials, demonstration, testing involving final users in their real life procedures
Produce practical tools useful for the GNSS developer community
Select applications where EGNOS and Galileo differentiators
are key for the product/service success
Successful proposal- some hints and GSA lessons learnt
22. Stand out from the crowd!
• DO use real EGNOS and Galileo signals. If simulations are needed, explain why and how.
• DO include references to previous research and results: available technologies,
prototypes, infrastructure, results and what/how you will build on them
• DO use the GSA Market report to build your business plan and be realistic
• DO involve newcomers. Especially partners with market access and innovation track
record in GNSS applications are an asset
• DON’T just integrate a GNSS receiver, but focus on E-GNSS research and its differentiators
• DON’T limit yourself to the GNSS applications listed in the WP, these are examples
• DON’T focus on GNSS receiver development, the objective of the call is applications
• DON’T wait until the last minute to submit your proposal
23. Some myths
A good mix of nationalities is important
All evaluators are academics with no
business experience
Letters of interest are important (when they
are not ready to become partners)
Consortia that are already in a funded
project have a much higher probability of
success.
Focus on expertise and complementarity
Mix of evaluators with business and technical
background
Commitment, resources and role of external
participants must be explained
Ensure track record of successful innovation
and access to the target market. We look for
commercially viable projects and do not need
follow-on funding

An excellent idea is the basis of a good
proposal but is not sufficient….
The expected impacts and
implementation aspects
are as important !
The proposal should excel in
each single criterion !
Be specific in your objectives and

Crt 1.4 - Appropriate consideration of
interdisciplinary approaches and, where
relevant, use of stakeholder knowledge.
Who are your stakeholders, USERS,
CUSTOMERS? How do you plan to
use their knowledge ?
30. Innovation ≠ Invention
(an invention can grow into innovation by proper exploitation)
"Innovation is about satisfying needs and wants and
delivering tangible benefits"
H2020 aims for a balanced approach to research and
innovation, not only limited to the development of new
products and services on the basis of scientific and
technological breakthroughs (=research dimension), but also
incorporating aspects such as the use of existing
technologies in novel applications, continuous
improvement and non- technological and social
innovation (=innovation dimension).
Innovation dimension
in H2020
31. Innovation in the
Evaluation criteria
Enhancing innovation capacity : (Any substantial
impacts not mentioned in the WP, that would enhance
innovation capacity; create new market opportunities,
strengthen competitiveness and growth of companies, .. )
Addressing barriers/obstacles, and any framework
conditions such as regulation and standards;
of the participating organisations/research community
by enabling new processes or partnerships beyond
the project consortium.
Innovation potential : (e.g. ground-breaking
objectives, novel concepts and approaches, new
products, services or business and organisational
models).
Innovation management = is a process which
requires an understanding of both market and
technical problems, with a goal of successfully transfer
the innovations developed.
Is innovation management clearly assigned?
How will innovation management be taken care of?
Are concrete innovation tools identified? ...
32. 2. IMPACT
PART B - 2. Impact
2.1 Expected impacts
• each of the expected impacts mentioned under
the relevant topic
• any substantial impacts not mentioned in the
work programme
• Describe any barriers/obstacles, and any framework
conditions
2.2 Measures to maximise impact
a) Dissemination and exploitation of results
• draft ‘plan for the dissemination and
exploitation of the project's results’
• Business plan where relevant
• Outline the strategy for knowledge management
and protection (incl IPR)
• Open Research Data -> information on how the
participants will manage the research data generated
and/or collected during the Project
a) Communication activities
• promoting the project and its findings
-> tailored to different target audiences, including groups
beyond the project's own community
Crt 2.1 - The extent to which the outputs
would contribute to the expected impacts
listed in the work programme under the
relevant topic
Crt 2.2 - Any substantial impacts not
mentioned in the WP, that would enhance
innovation capacity; create new market
opportunities, strengthen competitiveness
and growth of companies, address issues
related to climate change or the
environment, or bring other important
benefits for society
Crt 2.3 - Quality of proposed measures to
• exploit and disseminate project results
(including IPR, manage research data
where relevant)
• communicate the project activities to
different target audiences
33. Dissemination – one direction path (mainly presenting results)
e.g. presentation to conferences, publication in peer review journal, etc.
• Dissemination plan: Raise awareness about project outputs
Communication – two directions path (results & project activities)
e.g. organising workshop with users, discuss with customers, etc…
• Communication plan: Tailored to the needs of various audiences, including
the public policy perspective of EU research and innovation funding
Often only general reference to communication activities made and these consist
more of dissemination actions !!!!
Dissemination ≠
Communication
34. Exploitation plan:
• At which technical readiness level (TRL) do you start and how will
you reach the TRL you aim for as expressed in the objectives of
your proposal?
• What are the needed business model and marketing activities and
how will they be decided amongst partners?
Common mistakes in Exploitation:
• Lack of clear exploitation strategy (especially relevant for IAs)
• Lack of clear indication which results which will be
exploited, in which way, by whom
• IPR issues (access to background, results exploitation) left to the
Consortium Agreement only
Dissemination ≠ Communication ≠ Exploitation
Exploitation
35. • Management of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR): Demonstration
of specific measures in scope ownership, access/use, etc. during and
after the project:
A short reference on IPR "to be developed in the Consortium
Agreement" is not sufficien
IPR
1.Identify your own background (data, know-how and/or information held or
identified by participants prior to their accession to the action)
2.Verify if background of third parties is needed. If yes, what are their
access rights? Need for authorisation to use and exploit the results?
3.Check the state-of-the-art: existing patents? E.g. via database provided by
the European Patent Office: Espacenet
1.Specify the ownership of the results: Who owns what? Any transfers? On
which conditions?
2.Is there is a need to protect the results? If yes, assign cost. Ensure
appropriate access and usage right for key IP during AND after the project
(results & background)
36. Open Access to
scientific publications
Open Access to scientific publications is obligation under H2020=
online access at no charge to the user to peer-reviewed
scientific publications
Two main OA publishing models:
o Self-archiving: 'traditional' publication plus deposit of
manuscripts in a repository ('Green OA')
Both versions contain the same peer-reviewed content, but may be differently
formatted / usually, but not always, with embargo
o OA publishing: immediate OA provided by publisher ('Gold
OA')
Usually, but not always, 'Author-pay' model (APC)
Some journals offer both subscriptions and open access publishing to selected
on-line articles (hybrid journals)
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pil
ot/h2020-hi-oa-pilot-guide_en.pdf
37. NEW: Open access
to research data
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the
results presented in scientific publications
Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open
access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management
Plan (DMP), included as a deliverable in the project
Costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for
reimbursement during the project duration
Now by default obligatory for all new topics
o except if they decide to opt-out for example for commercial or security reasons
(see WP Annex L). Projects can opt-out at any stage.
o Proposals will not be evaluated more favourably for participating or penalised for
opting out.

automatically eligible for funding, explain why the
participation of the entity in question is essential
to carrying out the projectm
3.4 Resources to be committed
• table showing number of person/months required
• table showing ‘other direct costs’ for participants where
those costs exceed 15% of the personnel costs
Crt 3.1 Quality and effectiveness of the
work plan, including extent to which
resources assigned in work packages are
in line with objectives/ deliverables
Crt 3.2 - Appropriateness of management
structures and procedures, including risk
and innovation management
Crt 3.3 - Complementarity of the
participants which the consortium as a
whole brings together expertise
Crt 3.4 - Appropriateness of allocation of
tasks, ensuring that all participants have a
valid role and adequate resources in the
project to fulfil that role
AVOID EMPTY SHELLS !
DO NOT FORGET SUBCONTRACTS
and THIRD PARTIES
And explain well HIGH OTHER
DIRECT COSTS
39. • Each applicant is responsible for:
identifying any potential ethics issues
handling ethical aspects of their proposal

40. In Space: Dual Use, export licenses,
3rd countries
Does this research have the potential for military applications?
o Exclusive civilian focus of the research must be demonstrated
Do you need export licenses (for dual use items)?
o E.g., GNC, TPS etc.
Risk mitigation strategies for:
o Mission creep: change of focus toward military
o Leak of "sensitive" information (misuse)
Does the participation of Third Countries, i.e., non-EU,
beneficiaries or other, raise ethical issues? Export/Import Control?

41. Understand the domain and its challenges
R&D but also market, IPR and regulations, competition
Be clear and explicit
Evaluators must judge only what they read and not on the proposal potential.
Thez have limited time .
Do a mock evaluation
Ask a colleague to conduct a self-assessment of the proposal against each
evaluation sub-criterion. If you don't find the right answer easily in the text,
the evaluators won't find it either!
Optimise available time to prepare your proposal
• Last minute preparations are often reflected in a lower quality which largely
reduces the changes in success;
• Start a draft early + Submit on time
• Incomplete submission is not an Obvious Clerical Error
• Late submission in IT system = inadmissible proposal. Deadlines are strict!
Do not be afraid of letting the Commission see the abstract of your proposal
in order to help us identify the best possible expert.
Optimise your
chances to success
42. Contact your NCP (National Contact Point) for assistance.
They are there to help you to understand the submission and evaluation
process. NCPs have exclusive access to communication lines with the
