• Maximum three topics, most important one at level of call page
• Note that National priorities may be applicable to specific topics (refer to Annex G).
• Objectives of each topic can be found in the MASP.
• Proposals that cut across disciplines, support platform building, interoperability, establishment of open standards are particularly encouraged.
Topics

Project Outline• some information is not yet required
(work packages for example)• Participants, budgets: as complete and
precise as possible• Changes are possible! But limit them!• Evaluated by two experts• Blocking but with low threshold: only
proposals that do not fit in the ECSEL programme will be blocked
• Expect feedback from national authorities on eligibility of partners, eventually funding availability, synergy with national policy, etc
PO versus FPPFull Project Proposal• ALL information is required • Participants and budgets: definitive• Evaluated by four experts• Selection is a PAB decision based on
a ranked list of proposals established by the PAB
• Evaluation report will be made available after the PAB decision.

• COMPASS: Worklflow• EPS: Electronic Proposal System• SyGMa: System for Grant Management
• Use of electronic signature• Paperless

• Register your company (PIC number)• Use the portal to register your proposal
(coordinator)Proposal consists of:• Part A: consortium information including
financial information (cost, funding)• Part B: Pdf with technical description• Part C: Country specific information required
(specific for ECSEL)
Proposal submission

In Part A tick boxes (FPP and PO)– Set of boxes to allow (or not) industry associations
to access the full proposal– Main area of the proposal (3 boxes, one or more
or none)• design technologies, process and integration, equipment, materials and manufacturing for
micro- and nanoelectronics while targeting miniaturisation, diversification and differentiation, heterogeneous integration
• processes, methods, tools and platforms, reference designs and architectures, for software and/or control-intensive embedded/cyber-physical systems, addressing seamless connectivity and interoperability, functional safety, high availability, and security for professional and consumer type applications, and connected services;
• multi-disciplinary approaches for smart systems, supported by developments in holistic design and advanced manufacturing to realise self-reliant and adaptable smart systems having sophisticated interfaces and offering complex functionalities based on e.g. the seamless integration of sensing, actuating, processing, energy provision and networking.

Provided that the Commission Decision authorizing the use of unit costs is adopted, beneficiaries, other than those who comply with conditions listed in ECSEL Model Grant Agreement and can declare capitalized and operating costs for large research infrastructure, may declare the eligible costs related to operating clean room on the basis of unit costs established in line with a methodology set up in a Commission Decision
Clean room costs
Presentation Context (name) - DATE ! 20
The ECSEL programme welcomes proposals of any size that will be evaluated on their merits against the defined criteria. However, the PAB will expect compelling motivation for any proposal with a total Requested EU contribution (Column K of the Part A 3-Budget proposal) approaching or exceeding respectively 1/4 of the EU budget of the RIA call or 1/3 of the IA call. The compelling motivation will be described in Part B of the proposal under chapter 2.1 Expected impacts.
Compelling motivation

Differences with the H2020 grant agreement:• 1. The funding percentages for the EU contribution are
different than under H2020. The applicable values for these Calls are given in the WP2015.
• 2. For partners from entrusting states (see WP2015) the national contribution is added to the EU contribution; the sum of the two contributions represents the JU Grant.
• 3. Amendments are required when changing the budgets of the partners
Look up the annotated JU GA: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/amga/h2020-amga_en.pdf

Some last points
• In case of equal score, the proposal with higher impact score is ranked higher – for both RIA and IA
• Large size does not equate to large impact• Buzzwords (e.g. “huge opportunity”)
counterproductive if not quantified• The economic impact needs context and specificity• The arguments must be compelling for both experts
and public authorities…
