Description
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:
- An improved and professionalised National Contact Points (NCPs) service across Europe, thereby helping simplify access to Euratom calls in nuclear research and training, lowering the entry barriers for newcomers and raising the average quality of proposals submitted;
- A more consistent level of NCP support services across Europe by identifying and sharing good practices and raising the general standard of support to the Programme applicants, taking into account the diversity of actors that participate in the Programme;
- Better links, improved cooperation and joint dissemination with other relevant networks and National Contact Points, such as those of the health and research Programmes.
Support will be given to a consortium of National Contact Points (NCPs) in the research and training areas covered by the Euratom Programme. Proposals should aim to facilitate trans-national co-operation between NCPs with a view to identifying and sharing good practices and raising the general standard of support to Programme applicants. The proposal should cover the whole duration of Programme.
The activities will be tailored to the nature of the area and the priorities of the NCPs concerned. Various mechanisms may be included, such as benchmarking, joint workshops, enhanced cross-border brokerage events, specific training linked to this field (including on the gender dimension of research and innovation) and twinning schemes. Special attention will be given to enhance the competence of NCPs, including helping less experienced NCPs rapidly acquire the know-how accumulated in other countries.
Proposals should include a work package to implement matchmaking activities to link up potential participants with emerging consortia in nuclear research and training. Matchmaking should take place by means of online tools, brokerage events, info days and bilateral meetings between project initiators and candidate participants. Other matchmaking instruments may be used as appropriate.
While all Euratom NCPs officially appointed by the relevant national authorities can participate in this action, only NCPs from Euratom Member States and Associated Countries are eligible to receive funding. The consortium should have a balanced representation of experienced and less experienced NCPs.
NCPs from Euratom Member States or Associated Countries choosing not to participate as a member of the consortium should be identified and the reason explained in the proposal. These NCPs are nevertheless invited and encouraged to participate in the project’s activities (e.g. information days, workshops or side conference events) with the participation costs (e.g. travel) incurred by the consortium.
Eligibility & Conditions
Conditions
Conditions
1. Admissibility conditions: described in General Annex A (Admissibility) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
Proposal page limits and layout: described in Part B of the Application Form available in the Submission System. For CSA the limit for a full application is 30 pages. Please strickly abide by this page limit. Extension of proposal template by annexes is only allowed to describe specific issues (Financial support to third parties, Clinical trials and Calls flagged as security sensitive). The proposal is a self-contained document. Experts will be instructed to ignore hyperlinks or other information that is specifically designed to expand the proposal, thus circumventing the page limit.
2. Eligible countries: described in General Annex B (Eligibility) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
Eligible non-Euratom countries: Please note that as of the date of the publication of this call, there were no countries as yet associated to the Euratom Programme 2021-2025. Currently only Ukraine and United Kingdom are expected to become associated to Euratom programme, therefore entities established in those two countries will be treated as entities established in an Associated Country.
Please see the Horizon Europe Programme Guide for up-to-date information on the current list of and the position for Associated Countries.
Legal entities established in non-associated third countries may exceptionally participate in this Coordination and support action.
The following additional eligibility criteria apply:
Applicants must be national support structures (e.g. NCP) responsible for Euratom Programme and officially nominated to the Commission, from a Member State or Associated Country. Only in case and as long as structures for 2021-2025 Euratom Programme would not yet be officially nominated when the call opens, national support structures responsible for 2014-2020 Euratom Programme would be eligible.
3. Other eligibility conditions: described in General Annex B (Eligibility) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
4. Financial and operational capacity and exclusion: described in General Annex C (Financial and operational capacity and exclusion) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
- Submission and evaluation processes: described in General Annexes E (Documents) and F (Procedure) of Euratom WP 2021-2022 and the Online Manual
- Award criteria, scoring and thresholds: described in General Annex D (Award criteria) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
- Indicative timeline for evaluation and grant agreement: described in General Annex F (Procedure) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
6. Legal and financial set-up of the grants: described in General Annex G (Legal and financial set-up of grant agreements) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
