I. Things to remember: language and layout

I. Things to remember: Impact on three levels • Increased set of skills (research-related and transferable ones) –

leading to improved employability and career prospects in and outside of academia

• Increase in higher R&I output, more knowledge and ideas converted into products and services

• Greater contribution to the knowledge-based economy and society

RESEARCHER LEVEL

• Enhanced cooperation and stronger networks

• Better transfer of knowledge between sector and disciplines

• Boosting of R&I capacities among participating organisations

ORGANISATION LEVEL

• Increase in ‘triple i’ mobility of researchers in Europe

• Strengthening of Europe’s human capital base in R&I with more entrepreneurial and better trained researchers

• Better communication of R&I results to society

• Increase in Europe’s attractiveness as a leading destination for R&I

• Better quality research and innovation contributing to Europe’s competitiveness and growth

SYSTEM LEVEL

Read all the documents you need to read

Check your eligibility criteria. Remember: annual calls!

Talk to your host institution and your supervisor: preparing a good IF proposal needs

time and dedication

It is about research, training and career development, not just an individual research project

Bottom up yes, but keep in mind the goals of the EC

Re-submissions: evaluators will not know until after the evaluation has been done: Is it not only about improving the weaknesses Check the state of the art and if your project /approach / methodology is still

innovative

Perseverance: maybe not the 1st time…..but you don´t loose, you learn!

I. Things to remember: general issues

I. Things to remember: go for it!
