The PO submission must be done via the EURIPIDES² & PENTA project Zone only.
The first stage for a consortium consists of responding to a Call for a "Project Outline" (PO). The PO must give a short overview of a project, mainly describing the project goals, innovation, targeted business impact and consortium. For the criteria that need to be fulfilled in a PO, see the General Guidelines section of this website. For co-labelled project submissions, reasons must be provided during the initial project submission as to why this approach has been selected.
The PO is a critical step, as it will be used by the technical experts and Public Authorities for the pre-selection of proposals and for general information exchange within the PENTA & EURIPIDES² organisations. It is therefore strongly recommended that project partners contact their respective Public Authority to ensure that they meet national criteria for a submission. The intent is to be able to make an initial selection among the different submitted ideas, while keeping the workload of consortia to a minimum.
Submitting a PO consists of three parts:
The PO Annex template (including guidelines), together with tutorials and support materials covering PO submission can be downloaded from the Call documents page in the PENTA & EURIPIDES² Project Zone.
PENTA & EURIPIDES² team members are available to assist you throughout the submission process
PENTA & EURIPIDES² PO’s are evaluated by the PENTA & EURIPIDES Technical Expert Group.
Projects invited to submit a Full Project Proposal (FPP) will receive a list of recommendations and improvements in order to assist in the preparation of a high quality FPP.
Deadline to submit your PO: 26th February 2021 before 17:00 (CET)
Consortia with an approved Project Outline (PO) are invited to submit a Full Project Proposal (FPP). The FPP must detail the project content and describe the project plan and how the project will be executed and managed. Special attention should be paid to the recommendations and improvements made in the PO evaluation report from both the technical experts and Public Authorities.
While preparing the FPP, consortia are strongly encouraged to keep in touch with the Public Authorities in all participating countries in order to ensure that your proposal fits within each country's priorities and funding rules. For contact details, go to the funding page.
Submitting an FPP consists of three parts:
The FPP Annex template (including guidelines) together with tutorials and support materials covering FPP submission, can be downloaded from the Call documents page in the PENTA and EURIPIDES² Project Zone.
PENTA & EURIPIDES² team members are available to assist you throughout the submission process
FPP’s are evaluated by the PENTA & EURIPIDES² Technical Expert Group and the PENTA & EURIPIDES² Public Authorities based on the guidance given in the FPP Annex and National Authority funding procedures.
After the FPP evaluation processes have been completed joint meetings between the Public Authorities and the PENTA & EURIPIDES² management teams will agree which projects should be given the EUREKA label and subsequently funded.
During the first year of the project, a Project Consortium Agreement (PCA) must be signed by all partners. This details the co-operation between the project partners (contractors and subcontractors, where applicable) and addresses important issues, such as IP. For some Public Authorities, the PCA - signed by all partners - is a prerequisite for funding.
Partners must apply for funding to their National Public Authorities. The PENTA & EURIPIDES² label is endorsed by all EUREKA Member Countries and financial support can be provided according to national funding procedures; for more information go to the funding page
Deadline for submitting your FPP: 28th May 2021 before 17:00 (CET)
