Possibility to resubmit a proposal if accepted by reviewers and PA/ core group

The cluster Office acts as a facilitator for proposers


A process designed by industry for

industry: Light, Fast,Interactive

Continuous submission with cut-off dates/year. No need to wait for a

suitable call

A good project can be funded in 6 months

No competition between projects; quality of your own project is what counts

Funding success about 80% for good projects

Project enrichment/improvement through extensive/continuous feedback

from TC and PAs

Synchronisation of funding from participating countries can be achieved if

participants contact the national funding authorities very early in the submission
