How to write “Relevance to the objectives

of the NMP priority”



8

What is written on the Guide for Proposers

• (1) Describe the manner in which the proposed project’s goals address the scientific, technical, socio-economic and policy objectives of the NMP Priority in the areas covered by the call.

• (2) The long-term innovation and new knowledge expected should be identified.

• Each of this sentence has to be developed in a paragraph.



9

The first sentence“Describe the manner in which the proposed project’s goals address the scientific, technical, socio-economic and policy objectives of the NMP Priority in the areas

covered by the call”

• Read carefully the overall Work Programme

• Choose the most suitable research topic/s and crosscheck with partners (if you fail the activity codes you indicate in the Form A1, your proposal is out!!!)

• Write a short introduction about the sectors involved and how technologies and objectives of your project related to the NMP priority

• Differentiate the “scientific and technical objectives” from the “socio-economic and policy objectives”



10

Address to the scientific and technical objectives (1)

• Indicate at least 2 research topics from the Work Programme

• Report extracts from the Work Programme (in italics) when writing your paragraph

– 2 possible approaches:

• (1) Include the extracts from the Work Programme in a longer phrase written by you about your proposal

• (2) Write the paragraph in form of a table



11

Address to the scientific and technical objectives (2)

• Show significant breakthrough in terms of processes and technologies

• To be written by technical staff and checked by marketing staff



12

Address to the socio-economic and policy objectives

• Read the first chapters of the Work Programme:– 3.1 General introduction– 3.2 NMP priority introduction– 3.3 Objectives, structure and overall approachand select parts that fit to your proposal

• Report extracts from the Work Programme (in italics) when writing your paragraph– (1) Long phrases including the extracts– (2) Table

• To be written by marketing staff and checked by technical staff



13

The second sentence“The long-term innovation and new knowledge expected should be identified”

• Write how the knowledge you will generate may lead to the generation of other knowledge (in the research field or industrial field)

• Write possible future applications of your processes and technologies in sectors different from the one/s involved in the proposal that will be based on the knowledge you will generate

• Write about importance (statistics) and problems of the future sectors of applications and how they will benefit from the technology transfer

• Get suggestions from partners



14

How to write “Potential impact”



15

What is written on the Guide for Proposers

• (1) Describe the strategic impact of the proposed project, in reinforcing competitiveness, economic growth and sustainability.

• (2) Describe how the project addresses Community societal objectives (such as quality of life, health, safety, working conditions, employment, environment, training etc.).

• (3) Describe the benefits of the research compared to its level of risk.

• (4) Describe the S&T prospects opened by the research by also referring to the dissemination policy and plans.

• (5) Indicate if the project addresses problems connected with national or international standardisation, regulations and pre-normative issues.

• Each of this sentence has to be developed in a paragraph.



16

The first sentence“Describe the strategic impact of the proposed project, in reinforcing

competitiveness, economic growth and sustainability”.

• Write about the problems of the sector/s (national and European level) involved in the proposal in terms of:

– Competitiveness

– Economic growth

– Sustainability

• Ask the industrial partners

• Write statistical data (Eurostat, national bodies…) for quantification of the problems

• Explain clearly how you will solve the problems of the sector/s involved per each of the mentioned points



17

The second sentence“Describe how the project addresses Community societal objectives (such as quality of life, health, safety, working conditions, employment, environment,

training etc.)”.

• Get information on the Community societal objectives

• Get quantified data from national and European statistics

• Write a sub-paragraph about each societal objective mentioned in the Guide for Proposers: quality of life, health, safety, … - problems vs solutions

• Ask contributions from the research partners for what concerns their research/technology field



18

The third sentence“Describe the benefits of the research compared to its level of risk”

• Write per each research topic:

– Short description

– Benefits of the research

– Level of risk

– Action to minimise the risk



19

The fourth sentence“Describe the S&T prospects opened by the research by also referring to the

dissemination policy and plans”

• Write possible technology transfers open by your project ( chapter “Relevance to the objectives of the NMP priority”, paragraph “Long-term innovation and new knowledge”)

• Write how other actors will get to know about your results (ref. to chapter “Project management”, paragraph “Dissemination”) – Focus on dissemination to industrial actors– For each method of dissemination, write:

• Responsible partner/s• Target group• Quantification



20

The fifth sentence“Indicate if the project addresses problems connected with national or international standardisation, regulations and pre-normative issues”

• Standardisation– Get info on European and International standardization committees

• Information on the Committees dealing with the sector/s involved in the proposal:– Scope, market, environment and objectives– Standards under development (work started, drafts issued) – Published standards

• Regulations and pre-normative issues– Safety in working places, environment, …– Mention EU directives
