The Full Project Proposal will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
Strategic relevance and coherence with MF.IND goals and call Market relevance Technology Advancement and Innovation Partnership Strength
Detailed information on the evaluation procedure and criteria are described in the Evaluation
Guidelines available on MF.IND web site.
6. FundingMF.IND projects are not funded by MF.IND cluster.
MF.IND projects can be supported financially by all EUREKA member countries.
Differently to the funding rules of a EU project (e.g. Framework 6 and 7) there are no common
funds available that are shared among the successful proposals.
The partners within a consortium engaged in MF.IND project are funded directly by the
governments of their respective countries, according to national funding procedures.
Similar to EU projects (eg. FP7) or national funded project, only a percentage of the overall
costs are covered by the public funding. This portion depends on the national funding rules of
the partners involved in a particular MF.IND project.
It is therefore essential that you make sure that your project proposal fits within national Public
Authorities' priorities and funding rules before you submit it to MF.IND.
To know the funding opportunities and rules you should contact the Eureka National ContactPoints of your country (http://www.eureka.be/contacts/home.do) .

7. Key RecommendationsBefore submitting your proposal, we recommend you to check that:
Your project is a hi-tech, market-oriented R&D project.
It involves at least 2 industrial partners from two different countries members of EUREKA.
It aims to develop new technologies or solutions for EU Manufacturing Industries.
It is funded by the partners themselves, who receive public funding from their national
governments.
The Project Consortium is well-balanced: this means that the contribution from any given
country must not exceed 66% of the total budget. In parallel, the contribution from any
one partner (affiliated organisations count as one partner) must not exceed 66% of the totalbudget either.
