• Weighs 50%
• Always keep the general RISE objectives
Remember: Transfer of knowledge and joint research and innovation
with a sustainable impact – it is not only a research
project!
MSCA RISE
• What are your research and innovation goals?
• Describe briefly the State of the Art and how you will go
beyond
• Give details for the methodologies you use
• Inter/multidisciplinarity is an add-value (underline where
applicable)
• Gender Aspects: How your outcome affect women and men
differently?
MSCA RISE
• What are your transfer of knowledge goals? What kind of knowledge
do you want to transfer, and how will you do so?
• How will the secondments contribute to the knowledge
transfer?
• What kind of events do you plan, when do you plan them? Think
both ways – during the secondments and during the return
phases.
• Target for those trainings / events
MSCA RISE
• Highlight what each partner will contribute (for research,
innovation and for knowledge transfer)
• Give details on the partners’ expertise
• Give details on their role in the ToK measures. Justify the ToK
measures: how will they contribute to the knowledge-sharing
objectives?
• Explain why it’s of benefit to the institutions to take part in
the ToK measures
MSCA RISE
• Weighs 30%
• Address all subcriteria
• Point out the expected Impact on different levels: staff members,
institutions, European society,…
• Develop a vision of your future collaboration on different
levels: personal and institutional
• Describe detailed plans for Dissemination and
Communication/Outreach, Exploitation
These measures should included be throughout the duration of the
project, not only towards the end.
MSCA RISE
• Point out the benefits: Mutual understanding of working
environment in academia/non-academia; working outside Europe/in a
different research environment
• Researchers benefit of being exposed to other environments
• They can enlargen their networks, publish in high- impact
journals, bring the outcome to the market etc. etc.
• Link to EU policies about research careers and employability,
e.g. Agenda on new skills and jobs:
http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=738&lan
gId=en&pubId=626&type=2&furtherPubs=yes
MSCA RISE
• Point out plans for collaboration after the end of the
project
• Sustainability of the action is crucial
• EU policies to international and inter-sectoral collaboration,
e.g. the Key Initiatives of the Innovation Union
http://ec.europa.eu/research/innovationunion/i
ndex_en.cfm?pg=key
• Be specific and give details. Create a plan: What are your key
target groups, how, when and via which channel will you reach them?
Diseminate RESULTS!
• Who will eventually benefit from your results?
• Develop a PEDR – https://www.iprhelpdesk.eu/Fact-Sheet-
• IP rights: Check these with your institution and take into
account the rights of the non-academic partners
• Exploitation could be an add-value against other
competitors
MSCA RISE
• Communicate activities and results during the duration of the
project
• How are the research results and project activities eventually of
interest and of impact towards society at large (in Europe and
overseas)?
• Who will eventually benefit? How do you reach these people?
MSCA RISE
• Weighs 20%
when with which resources?
• Management structure: Appropriate but not over complicated
• Explain why the participating institutions are the best ones for
their tasks
• Explain why the consortium as a whole is more than the sum of the
beneficiaries
MSCA RISE
• Do not forget Gender Balance
• Don’t define too many Deliverables and have less Milestones than
Deliverables
• Table B2 needs to be filled in with details
• Rule of thumb: • 3 to 4 scientific WPs;
• 1 for Mgt/
MSCA RISE
• Which management structure do you have? Which sub-boards (if any;
e.g for secondments or communication) do you have, who reports to
whom; and how are decisions taken?
• Committees/boards should be gender balanced
• Outline the role of the coordinator
• Which kind of support will you have (e.g. for administrative
tasks)
• Fill the risk table in diligently and prepare it together with
your consortium. It is crucial!
MSCA RISE
• This part is not the duplication of the Table in Part 5
• Describe how the participants have the right set of skills,
expertise (‘human’ infrastructure) and the right technical
infrastructure
• Do not forget infrastructure and support services in terms of
administration, human resources, communication etc. etc.
• Include mentioning Quality Labels such as Charter&Code/
HRS4R
MSCA RISE
• Describe why your consortium partners are the only and best to
carry out all of the project’s tasks
• Describe complementarities and synergies
• Describe the previous experiences of the partners and why these
enable them to carry out their tasks
• Show their committment (do not duplicate the letters of
Committment from the 3rd country partners, but refer to them)
MSCA RISE
Increased set of skills (scientific and transferable), leading to
improved employability and career prospects in/outside
academia
…
Enhanced cooperation and transfer of knowledge between sectors and
disciplines
Strengthening of international and intersectoral collaborative
networks
…
Increase in international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral
mobility of researchers´ in Europe

Knowledge and Innovation in, to and from Emerging Markets
• KITFEM research project aims to study the management of knowledge
and innovation in, to and from emerging markets, with special
emphasis on its impacts on the EU. With the proposed secondments
among fifteen partners in nine countries around the world in four
continents, between partners from academic sector and non-academic
sector, KITFEM combines research on the issue of knowledge and
innovation between emerging markets and European enterprises, and
knowledge sharing and dissemination around the world to enhance the
impact of European innovation.
