--------------------------------------------------------------------

2b.2 The combined in cash contribution of at least 2 independent private partners listed above as members of the consortium, amounts to: O at least 10% (€ 190,000 or more)

Private partners follow the developments within the project through membership of a ‘project commission’ as is described in the brochure.

O at least 20% (€ 425,000 or more) Private partners are actively involved in setting up the project, and have a say in what will be investigated and how this investigations is to take place (co-makership), besides being members of the ‘project commission’ as is described in the brochure.

(please tick box)

2b.3 The in kind contribution in connection with Enabling Technologies Hotels, in the form of manpower to enhance exchange of information about results between all consortium members has a value that amounts to: O not applicableO at least € 3,000 (because additional funds for 1 Enabling Technologies Hotel are requested)O at least € 6,000 (because additional funds for 2 Enabling Technologies Hotels are requested)O at least € 9,000 (because additional funds for 3 Enabling Technologies Hotels are requested) (please tick box)

2c. Involvement of ‘Enabling Technologies Hotels and other non-co-applying partnersThe internal consistency, and optimal composition, of the applying research consortium are part of the evaluation criteria. NWO anticipates that ‘Enabling Technologies Hotels’, and public or private (SME) entities, can perform dedicated specialised tasks, introduce new experimental of analytical tools, or deliver connecting/overarching skills, thus enhancing the consortium’s strength. Section 2c provides an inventory of the contribution to the consortium of ETH’s (2c.1) and/or non-co-applying (often smaller) public or private partners (2c.2). Such minor consortium members are often connected to, or cooperating with, larger consortium partners as listed in sections 2a and 2b.

Annex 1 Information regarding the Letter of Commitment

Each private partner contributing in kind and/or in cash must present a Letter of Commitment addressed to NWO, to the main applicant. The main applicants submits pdf-files of each individual Letter of Commitment, together with the pdf-file containing the filled out application form, using her/his own ISAAC account. Apart from filling out a form presented by the ISAAC programme, submitting an application involves uploading the filled out application form and at least two pfd-files that each contain a Letter of Commitment.

Partners are advised to use the Letter of Commitment example format that can be downloaded from the programme’s website. LoCs that do not meet all requirements render the whole application non-eligible. The applicant then has the opportunity to replace the LoC, within 48 hours. A Letter of Commitment has to meet the following standards:

Each partner contributing in cash and/or in kind has to write a Letter of Commitment (LoC) that is submitted as a separate pdf-document along with the pdf containing the filled out application form;

The letter of commitment has to be printed on official stationary of the supporting organisation. After it has been signed by the organisation representative it must be saved as pdf-file to be submitted by the main applicant, together with other LoCs and the pdf containing the application form;

The LoC must contain a formal confirmation of the commitment included in the application (just an intention is not accepted). The LoC may not be conditional in any way, except for the condition that the proposal needs to be granted by NWO;

A contribution in kind is the case for private partners providing the private contribution in connection with one or more Enabling Technologies Hotels taking part in the consortium. The in kind contribution has to have a value of € 3.000 per hotel involved and consists of 30 hrs of ‘knowledge utilisation communication activities’ at an hourly rate of € 100.-. All other required private contributions are in cash only.

In case of a contribution in cash, the LoC has to include the contribution in euros, in line with what was stated in the application. The LoC must confirm that the contribution in cash will be paid to NWO. The LoC also states when payments are due. The contribution in cash may consist of annual payments (equal parts or proportional to the number of project months) or consist of a single upfront payment;

Commitments to contributions in cash and in kind by a single partner may be combined into a single Letter of Commitment;

A letter of Commitment contains a formal confirmation that the representative on behalf of the partner, has read and understood the application in its submitted form, and agrees to the programme brochure and the documents it refers to;

if applicable, the Letter of Commitment contains a short description of the partner, its interest in enhancing photosynthesis and, if applicable, specific tasks in the project proposal to be performed by this partner;

The representative’s original signature by hand.
