Home2nite – The Story
The Challenge
• Independent hotels in EU represent 67% of the room supply counting for more than €35 billion [8] economic value for the region.
• Independent hotels in Turkey currently have not access to the tools and skills they need for survival in the face of fierce competition from global chain hotels and global travel brands like Airbnb and Booking.com
The Solving Approach
• Home2nite is an innovative guest engagement platform that aims to empower the independent hotels as AirBnb did for the travel hosts.
• Helping independent hotels with the tools and skills they need for survival under the fierce competition from global chain hotels and Airbnb providers.
• Preserving the economic value they represent for EU, protecting the jobs they created and last, but not the least, continue to see them reflecting the Europe’s cultural heritage, past and social diversity.

The Solving Approach
• Integrate design, business and technology to a coherent discipline to establish new creative industries
• Develop new material and product opportunities via creative design from waste or process by-product
• Reduce the utilization of virgin materials; improve material efficiency; decrease landfill volumes and energy consumption.

• Core questions:
• What should be achieved (for the expected impact)? No description of the work plan (implementation)
• What problem/challenge should be addressed?
• What are the primary and secondary objectives? Do they matchwith the objectives of the topic?
• Counter-check topic text carefully
• Project objectives are linked to your concept and approach

- must meet the needs (problems) identified
Measurable
- should be measured by concrete indicators which should reflect the extent to which they have been attained
Achievable
- to all involved partners
Relevant
- must be adequate to the project socio-cultural environment
Timely
- must be reached by the end of the project

…and Dont’s
› Don’t repeat something that is already done.
› Don’t hesitate to provide detailed description about your methodology, technical solutions etc. Superficial description of the processes is often brought out as a major shortcoming by evaluators.
› If you have a novel approach – don’t forget to describe it thoroughly and to support it with relevant references.

70
Suggestions for a good workplan
• a distinct work package on ‘management’ (see section 3.2)
• visibility in the work plan to ‘dissemination and exploitation’ and ‘communication activities’, either with distinct tasks or distinct work packages
• include an updated (or confirmed) ‘plan for the dissemination and exploitation of results’ in both the periodic and final reports
• Include a 'data management plan' as a distinct deliverable within the first 6 months of the project. (mandatory for innovation actions)

Suggestion: Milestones
• Are control points where decisions are needed with regard to the next stage of the project.
• For example, a milestone may occur when a major result has been achieved, if its successful attainment is required for the next phase of work.
• Another example would be a point when the consortium must decide which of several technologies to adopt for further development.

Part B, 3. Implementation – 3.2 Management structure, milestones and procedures
Key questions:
• How is the project managed? What project management experience is already available? Who is responsible?
• What is the decision making structure? Who is deciding with whom about what and how? Who has a vote or a veto? Does a risk or conflict management strategy exist? What is the mitigation procedure in critical situations?
• What is the internal communication structure?
• If relevant: How is innovation management addressed?
• What kind of quality management measures exist?
• What structures support the exploitation and dissemination of results?

…and Dont’s
• Don’t do “copy-pastes” from other/ previous proposals.
• Don’t forget the details -unsubstantiated/ unreferenced content/ figures/ numbers give a negative impression.
• Don’t take partners with no significant role and tasks.
• Don’t plan vague Deliverables and Milestones. Lack of “Plan B” and contingency measures.

Team in SME phase II
• Team
• Describe your team and their achievements and experience in relation to the approach you will be taking.
• Describe the roles of the team within your project. What is the role of the company's owner(s)?What are the main strengths and weaknesses of the team?
• If your project is to be implemented by a consortium, describe how the partners complement each other.

Importance of Research Ethics in Horizon 2020
Research ethics is crucial for all scientific domains (NOT only in Life Sciences). For example:
• Data protection & Privacy
• Dual use issues
• Environmental risks and safety issues
• Research integrity aspects
In Horizon 2020, all proposals considered for funding will be submitted to an Ethics Review procedure.
Only proposals that comply with ethical principles and legislation may receive funding!

Open Science: approach in Horizon 2020
The Europe 2020 strategy for a smart, sustainable and inclusive economyunderlines the central role of knowledge and innovation in generatinggrowth
Broader access to scientific publications and data therefore helps to:
• build on previous research results (improved quality of results)
• encourage collaboration and avoid duplication of effort (greater efficiency)
• speed up innovation (faster progress to market means faster growth)
• involve citizens and society (improved transparency of the scientificprocess).
This is why the EU wants to improve free access to scientificinformation and to boost the benefits of public investment inresearch funded under Horizon 2020
7. Open access and open data in Horizon 2020 projects

7. Open access to publications and open data
Open access to scientific publications (OA): providing online access to scientific information that is free of charge to the end-user and reusable. 'Scientific' refers to all academic disciplines.
The 2 main routes to open access are:
• Self-archiving / 'green' open access – the author, or arepresentative, archives (deposits) the published article or the final peer-reviewed manuscript in an online repository before, at the same time as,or after publication. Some publishers request that open access be grantedonly after an embargo period has elapsed.
• Open access publishing / 'gold' open access - an article isimmediately published in open access mode. In this model, the paymentof publication costs is shifted away from subscribing readers.
Open access to research data refers to the right to access and reusedigital research data under the terms and conditions set out in the GrantAgreement.
