Question: could a consortium involve two partners from one country?

Answer: yes, the requirements concerning the partnership are:

  • at least 3 partners requesting funding from 3 different countries in the call
  • no more than 2 partners not requesting funding

So we could imagine for instance having a project with 2 Romanian partners, 1 Fr and 1 UK.  Please see the link to the projects of the Call 2010 to see examples of consortia: www.chistera.eu/projects-list. Finally, the applicants should keep in mind that the total requested funding by the partners of one country should not be higher than 60% of the total requested funding.

 

Question: as not all European countries participate in the Call 2011 we might need to find new partners in the relevant countries. How could we proceed?

Answer: the website provides with a Partner(s) Search Tool for submitting Expressions of Interest (EoI) by filling-in the following webform. All the EoI can be viewed here.

The objective being to be sure that improving the efficiency of an element will improve also the whole system efficiency.
