03/07/2013 The Grant Agreement Production Progress for this call (Priority and Reserve lists - Update 03/07/2013) has been uploaded under Additional Documents

Please be informed that due to the large number of submissions received for the Call for proposals 64/G/ENT/CIP/13/C/N04C02 on ‘Clusters and Entrepreneurship in Support of Emerging Industries', the evaluation of stage one is still on-going. The timetable in the call documents is indicative and thus subject to changes. We expect to be able to inform applicants of the outcome of stage one of the submission procedure by the beginning of August. Please also note that only the successful candidates will receive instructions on how to proceed for the second stage.

The applicant wishing to attach a written document demonstrating the mandate it has received by a regional public authority as laid down in section 2.2 of the call for proposals, can do so by attaching the written document to the letter of intents (please see A57 f). Please note that the Electronic Submission Service (SEP-system) foresees that the coordinator should merge and scan the different letters of intent into one single document before uploading them in the SEP-system.

 The submission session is now available for: CIP-EIP-GEN

 Clarification related to the size of the concept note:

The call for proposals requires applicants to complete a concept note of five pages. Depending on the font size and the number of characters being used, the amount of space available for filling in the concept note may vary. Therefore, the maximum amount of characters has been increased to 15.000.

There is no template for the letter of intent. Applicants are invited to upload the letters of intent in the e-submission system (SEP).

The updated FINAL version of the FAQ is now available !!

A FAQ document has been uploaded on the Participant Portal. It contains both the questions received via the Commission's functional mailbox as well as the questions raised during the Information Day on 20 March 2013 in the Madou Auditorium in Brussels.

Please note that a new updated version (v7) of the Frequently asked questions has been published. The new questions are in red.

IMPORTANT REMINDER!

Applicants are reminded that the participation of any beneficiary in more than one proposal will lead to the exclusion of all the proposals from the evaluation, as they will be considered ineligible. The system does not detect that a given beneficiary is included in more than one proposal, and does therefore not give any warning.
Applicants are strongly advised to double check with their partners to ensure that they are not applying in more than one consortium.

Please note that the List of people registered for the Info Day and the List of people looking for partners have been amended (02.07.2013).
