EJP RD – RDR Challenges NETWORKING EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT
Friday, January 10, 2020,
Summary information on the RDR Challenges Call
The RDR Challenges call will be launched in March 2020.
It foresees selection, evaluation and funding of projects in a 2-stage process. Challenges must be solvable in a short time period of 30 months with first milestones/deliverables at M18. A first Scientific Evaluation Committee (SEC) meeting will evaluate applications responding to the proposed challenges for the first 18-month phase grant. The aim of this selection process is to fund one project for each proposed challenge. Following the completion of the first phase (after 18 months), the applicants submit a report demonstrating the work undertaken during the study and, if appropriate, an application for phase 2 funding. The SEC will examine the results from the 1st phase and evaluate what has been delivered in the specific timeline and how the applicants met the milestones/deliverables. After positive evaluation, the SEC will validate projects for the second phase grant.
The total budget of 1.5 Mio€ funding from the European Commission allows for 4 projects to be funded (375 000 € per project).
The involved industry partners who identified a challenge will join the consortium of applicants once selection is made by the SEC and will co-fund (in cash and in kind) the granted project.
THE NETWORKING EVENT FOR THE RDR CHALLENGES CALL WILL BE HELD ON 3rd MARCH 2020 IN PARIS
