Proposal Statistics
• Average no of researchers = 13
• Applications from 18 countries in total
• UK highest: 40 proposals • Next are IT (13) and IE
(10) • Average number of ESRs
requested = 13
Common Features of Successful Proposals
• 1) Industry Participation • 2) Host Institution • 3) Research & Training Projects
Industry Participation
• Very strong representation of private sector (4-13 industry APs)
• Providing transferable skills training
• Hosting secondments à Only four fellows in total do not
have a secondment of at least 1m in industry
• Supervising/mentoring ESRs throughout their fellowship à in many projects the ESRs have
one academic and one industrial supervisor for the duration of the project
Host Institution
• Excellent track record in doctoral training
• Participation of many PIs as supervisors
• Frequently the concept of deputy coordinator is used
• Address multidisciplinarity through inclusion of colleagues in other schools/departments
Research & Training Programme
• Research projects identified for each ESR
• Training courses clearly described with ECTS incorporated
• High level of industry involvement in training
• PhD duration addressed: where necessary, 4th year arrangements discussed.
Funded Projects
6 mainlist & 1 reserve list Mainlist
• Coordinator: 4x UK, 1x NL, 1x DK
• 3 x CHE, 1 x PHY, 1 x LIF, 1 x ENG
• 13/14 ESRs per project
Weakness in unsuccessful proposals
• "Integration of associated partners in the programme not convincing"
• "The involvement of private sector not sufficient in S&T"
• "The involvement of private sector not sufficient in Training"
• "Lack of multidisciplinary aspects in the research training programme"
