Horizon Europe or FP9 (the ugly name) Quality Evaluation Criteria (special training moment from Madagascar)


Horizon Europe or FP9 (its ugly name) the largest ever European Research and Innovation Programme has started to make its presence quite strong with the proposal suggested by EC and the discussions now going on about it between the Council and the European Parliament.  Its structure is clear, its priorities are clear, its suggested budget is clear but what is not clear is what will be the evaluation criteria. Are they going to be the same as before, Excellence, Impact and Implementation or just the two Excellence and Impact and in some cases also another criterion i.e. Transeuropean dimension, or something else? The truth is that all these are under discussion and nothing is fixed yet, however, in this training moment that I prepared for you from Madagascar, I present you the  C.R.I.T.E.R.I.A formula that is based on 8 Evaluation Criteria that universally applicable in any European research programme and they will continue to be. That is a guarantee.

Enjoy the training moment/video below produced in Madagascar for full information:

For adding further value to what you have learned from this article/video, you can now register in my Funding Expert Accelerator Programme  that in addition to have exclusive access  every month to unique in-depth trainings on EU funds that I deliver nowhere else but only in this programme, you can also have  an one-to-one live session with me remotely where I can guide you specifically on any challenges you are facing (e.g. your strong and weak points and how to work for becoming a great funding expert, which funding programmes can support your idea or your organisation’s mission, how to get involved in proposals as partner, how to deal with specific issues in regards to a grant application or a funded project that you are involved, etc.) You set the agenda for our discussion and coaching session according to your own needs.

Finally, I provide below some links to visual material (videos and photos) of my adventure from Madagascar.
