1) Use the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: to be sent & published through contacts &
Regional Correspondents, POWER website, relevant institutions in the field
tackled, direct search.
2) ANALYSIS of partner profiles:
o Do they have the technical expertise needed? (e.g. DIRECTLY involved in building
energy audits)
o Do they have experience in the management of EU projects (important to see previous
projects and whether they have acted as LEAD partners)?
o Do they meet the requirements of the proposed roles (researcher, component manager,
policy makers)?
o What are the specific requirements of the Programme? Regional bodies!!
3) GEOGRAPHICAL COVERAGE is important but not the unique aspect!
BEST PARTNERSHIP MUST HAVE JUST THE PARTNERS NEEDED (and BEST PARTNERSHIP MUST HAVE JUST THE PARTNERS NEEDED (and NOT MORE) to meet project goals!!NOT MORE) to meet project goals!!

There is a lot of experiences and information about Sustainable Transport in Europe, but....
How to find the most suitable “good practices” for my particular case?
ITACA Project could help you !
What ITACA is?
•Identification of optimal management models for people mobility•Survey of innovative technologies for Sustainable Mobility
• identify best practices and approaches to achieve an integrated urban renewal and local mobility management process
Innovative Transport Approach in Cities and metropolitan Areas (ITACA) is a POWER Programme Project to…

Proposal preparation INTA’s experience
• Use the project ideas and partner searching area at the
POWER web site !• Looking for common points among your idea and other
proposals • Define a clear objective, realistic and affordable taking
into account your capacities and resources. Keep in mind
the final goal of POWER Programme: CO2 reduction!• Consortium composition well-balanced: representation
of different sectors, no “sleeping” partners, choice of
partners according to capabilities and experience
Proposal preparation INTA’s experience
• Emphasize the innovative aspects of your proposal.
Avoid duplication with other projects• Include a Communication Plan to assure an adequate
dissemination process. Identify “target groups” and
define how these targets will be achieved• Finally:
Be patient and persevering: a good proposal need a
lot of contributions and revisions !
Thank you for your attention !
