About the Higher Council for Science and Technology (HCST)
bull HCST was Established in 1987 to build a national SampT base to assist socio-economic development in the Kingdom through increasing awareness of the significance of RampD providing the necessary funding for such activities and directing it towards national developmental priorities
bull The Council was also entrusted with the establishment of specialized scientific centers where appropriate and represents the Kingdom at regional and international SampT activities
About the Higher Council for Science and Technology (HCST) Main Activities
bull Science amp Technology Policy Strategy ampPrograms (2012 ndash 2016)
bull Setting RampD Priorities in Jordan in the next 10 years
bull The HCST is signatory to many SampT cooperation agreements with international entities
Cooperation with Europe
bull HCST established Jordanrsquos Information Point on 2005 with the objective of increasing the participation of Jordanian researchers in EU RTD programs
bull The HCST is the coordinator of the SampT Cooperation Agreement that was signed in Nov 2009 between the European Commuinty and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account
the evaluatorsrsquo comments

What happens next
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Credibility
Capacity
Commitment Complimentarity
What is a coordinator looking for in a partner
Credibility good professional reputation eg world class leaders in their scientific field relevant research publications awards At least some of the partners should have experience in current or previous EC Frameworks Programmes
Capability to undertake the tasks assigned eg Size of the organization available resources and and financial viability
Commitment to fulfilling their role in the project co-financing relevance to strategic objectives of research institute etc
Complimentarity Good balance of organisations (SME large private public organisation non profit association authority) no duplication of tasks no insignificant partners in particular SMEs and international partners

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account
the evaluatorsrsquo comments

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account
the evaluatorsrsquo comments
Success
What happens next
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Credibility
Capacity
Commitment Complimentarity
What is a coordinator looking for in a partner
Credibility good professional reputation eg world class leaders in their scientific field relevant research publications awards At least some of the partners should have experience in current or previous EC Frameworks Programmes
Capability to undertake the tasks assigned eg Size of the organization available resources and and financial viability
Commitment to fulfilling their role in the project co-financing relevance to strategic objectives of research institute etc
Complimentarity Good balance of organisations (SME large private public organisation non profit association authority) no duplication of tasks no insignificant partners in particular SMEs and international partners

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account
the evaluatorsrsquo comments

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

What is a coordinator looking for in a partner
Credibility good professional reputation eg world class leaders in their scientific field relevant research publications awards At least some of the partners should have experience in current or previous EC Frameworks Programmes
Capability to undertake the tasks assigned eg Size of the organization available resources and and financial viability
Commitment to fulfilling their role in the project co-financing relevance to strategic objectives of research institute etc
Complimentarity Good balance of organisations (SME large private public organisation non profit association authority) no duplication of tasks no insignificant partners in particular SMEs and international partners

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account
the evaluatorsrsquo comments

What happens next
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

What is a coordinator looking for in a partner
Credibility good professional reputation eg world class leaders in their scientific field relevant research publications awards At least some of the partners should have experience in current or previous EC Frameworks Programmes
Capability to undertake the tasks assigned eg Size of the organization available resources and and financial viability
Commitment to fulfilling their role in the project co-financing relevance to strategic objectives of research institute etc
Complimentarity Good balance of organisations (SME large private public organisation non profit association authority) no duplication of tasks no insignificant partners in particular SMEs and international partners

This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Proposal Submission
Submission in FP7 is through the ELECTRONIC ONLINE PROPOSAL PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION (EPSS)
EPSS is a web-based service which must be used to submit proposals to the Commission
Access is given through the CORDIS website

Proposal Submission
Part A The part of a proposal dealing with administrative data This part is completed using the web-based EPSS
Part B The part of a proposal explaining the work to be carried out and the roles and aptitudes of the participants in the consortium This part is uploaded to the EPSS as a pdf file

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account
the evaluatorsrsquo comments
Success
What happens next
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Credibility
Capacity
Commitment Complimentarity
What is a coordinator looking for in a partner
Credibility good professional reputation eg world class leaders in their scientific field relevant research publications awards At least some of the partners should have experience in current or previous EC Frameworks Programmes
Capability to undertake the tasks assigned eg Size of the organization available resources and and financial viability
Commitment to fulfilling their role in the project co-financing relevance to strategic objectives of research institute etc
Complimentarity Good balance of organisations (SME large private public organisation non profit association authority) no duplication of tasks no insignificant partners in particular SMEs and international partners

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

What is a coordinator looking for in a partner
Credibility good professional reputation eg world class leaders in their scientific field relevant research publications awards At least some of the partners should have experience in current or previous EC Frameworks Programmes
Capability to undertake the tasks assigned eg Size of the organization available resources and and financial viability
Commitment to fulfilling their role in the project co-financing relevance to strategic objectives of research institute etc
Complimentarity Good balance of organisations (SME large private public organisation non profit association authority) no duplication of tasks no insignificant partners in particular SMEs and international partners

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account
the evaluatorsrsquo comments

What happens next
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account
the evaluatorsrsquo comments

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account
the evaluatorsrsquo comments

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account

Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Capability to undertake the tasks assigned eg Size of the organization available resources and and financial viability
Commitment to fulfilling their role in the project co-financing relevance to strategic objectives of research institute etc
Complimentarity Good balance of organisations (SME large private public organisation non profit association authority) no duplication of tasks no insignificant partners in particular SMEs and international partners

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC
IndicatesbullMaximum EC contribution bullName of the EC project officer(s) in charge of the projectbullAll comments made by the review panel concerning possible changes in the programme of work
The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Evaluation criteria Start with the end in mind
Results Understanding the ESR
The Evaluation Summary Report which the Coordinator receives after the evaluation is completed contains a number of comments that give an indication why the project
has been or has not been selected for funding
For the projects that have failed it is usually very useful to try to obtain some additional feedback from the EC project officers in order to evaluate the chances for resubmitting the proposal to the next suitable Call taking into account

Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved

The Project Coordinators of proposals that have been selected for funding will receive a Negotiation Mandate from the EC

The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a

This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

The Coordinator must transform the project proposal into a new document called a
Description of Work (DoW)
This will become the Technical annex (annex I) of the Grant Agreement (contract with the EC)
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Also the Coordinator has to submit via an on-line tool called NEF a set of Grant Preparation Forms (GPFs) with administrative legal and financial information about the project and each participant At the end of the negotiation the EC will ask for signatures from each participant on the GPFs The last step of the negotiation is the preparation of the Grant Agreement and its
annexes
Negotiating FP7 Grant Agreements
Useful reference FP7 Model Grant Agreements
The Grant Agreement is ONLY signed between the Coordinator and the EC and is deemed to enter into force on the day of the last signature (that of the EC Director in charge of the programme)
The other project participants sign a Grant Accession Form (Form A) counter-signed by the Coordinator thereby formally acceding to the Grant Agreement
Normally the EC imposes tight schedule for the Grant Agreement signatures
The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project

Credibility good professional reputation eg world class leaders in their scientific field relevant research publications awards At least some of the partners should have experience in current or previous EC Frameworks Programmes
Capability to undertake the tasks assigned eg Size of the organization available resources and and financial viability
Commitment to fulfilling their role in the project co-financing relevance to strategic objectives of research institute etc

The Consortium Agreement
For most FP7 projects the consortium will be required to prepare and sign a Consortium Agreement
Whereas the Grant Agreement defines the rights and obligations related to the project of the beneficiaries (signatories of the Grant Agreement) on one side and the EC on the other side the Consortium Agreement deals with the rights and obligations between the beneficiaries themselves with regard to the execution of
the project
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
Intellectual property rights (IPR) play an important role under FP7 contracts (Grant Agreements) since the substantial EU funding for these projects is ultimately aimed at increasing the competitiveness of European
industry (mainly through the Cooperation Programme) Important document for more details see the EC guide
to Intellectual Property Rules for FP7 projects [pdf] The FP7 Rules for Participation require that any Intellectual Property generated by a project (referred to in the contract as foreground) should be adequately protected and exploited Protection and exploitation of IPR are often issues that have important implications for the projects in particular when industrial participants are
involved
Intellectual Property Rights in EU Projects
One of the main purposes of this Consortium Agreement is to settle all IPR issues including access to background Even for projects for which the Consortium Agreement is not necessary it is advisable to have one as it will be very useful in case any problems or issues (not only linked to IPR) arise during the execution of the
project
