Incentivizing Towards Herizon Europe
Introduction to Herizon Europe
“EURO OF EXCELLENCE” and “ISCIII Health” Promotion Actions Of Excellent
- The European council and the different modalities of financed aid constitute one of the most recent successes of the scientific policy of the European union. This grant are international benchmark of excellence and contribute decisively to the international talent attraction.
- With the strength Spanish participation in the ERC calls ,”Europe of Excellent “ dynamization actions,all these proposals that ,having been evaluated very positively by ERC,they were not financed due to lack of budget. EU Excellent contemplates the support of the different modalities of the ERC, priotizing the proposal presented by young researchers ,starting Grants,and those presented the consolidator Grant modality.
- The “ISCIII Health Excellent” instrument follows this same philosophy,but with two differential characteristics ,since on the one hand the object of the support will be within the scope of national
Health system, while on the other hand it intend to focus, not only on ERC actions,but also in those of the monobeneficiary type of Maria Sklodowska-Curie Programe.
Community Proposal Leadership Awards
- The objective of this actions is to encourage and recognize the participation of companies and other entities in European calls through quality proposals that however do not receive fundings.
- In this ways, a double incentive effect is pursured:on the one hand , reducing the risk assumed by the entities when getting involved in the preparation of European proposal,and on the other hand, improving the possibilities that good proposals continue their development with a view to new financing oppturnities.
- One of the method of implementing this activity can be the call for an award with a financial endowment whose amount will be set in an corresponding resolutions calling for a European proposal submitted to program and initiatives in Europe as long as:
- It has not been selected by the European commission to receive funding.
- It exceeds the minimum threshod for the score obtained by the proposals in European evalution,defined in the call.
- It meets the criteria related to the type participation (coordinator or partner)as defined in the call.
“EUROPE RESEARCH” Dynamization Actions”
These grants are intended to promoted and improve Spanish participation in European initiative in science and technology, increasing the number of Spanish coordinators participating in projects from horizon calls.
In particular, the preparation of proposal for R+D+I project in transnational collaboration by Spanish research group will be financed as well as proposals fundamentally addressed to the European research counsel.
CERVERA Project Offices
- Within the dynamization actions of horizon Europe,those aimed at improving the competitive position of Spanish companies in European projects and international R+D+I and specifically the incentive and recognition of the participation of new companies in the European calls, especially the programs r&I frame work.
- It is in the actiies where the need to implement a system that allows these companies to have access to expert,specific support of proven quality fits into place when preparing proposals with possibility of receiving finacing from the future continuation program of H2020,the herizion Europe programe.
- The ultimate goals of this program is to raise technology level of Spanish companies in these technology.
