Nevertheless, large enterprises are also eligible applicants.</p> <p>In order to be eligible for this Call, your company will also have to be established in one of the eligible countries.

We aim at supporting 20 projects from this budget<strong>. </strong>FlexFunction2Sustain considers that proposals requesting a contribution between EUR 80 k€ and 130 k€ would allow the objectives of the call to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.</p> <p>Each use case will be <strong>co-funded</strong> by the applicant and the FlexFunction2Sustain project. The FlexFunction2Sustain project will fund <strong>up to 70%</strong> of the total cost of the Pilot Case project. The total cost of the case will be defined as part of the negotiation of the Service Delivery Plan between the successful applicant and FlexFunction2Sustain. The free of charge contribution by the FlexFunction2Sustain consortium is composed of:</p> <ul> <li>Qualified human resources dedicated to the execution of the Pilot case project;</li> <li>Consumables and materials, required for the product/part/prototype demonstrator as well as travel costs for OITB experts to the Pilot Case project partner;</li> <li>Access to top-notch equipment and infrastructure of the pilot lines.</li> </ul> <p>The applicants are expected to cover their own expenses in relation to the project (e.g., own personnel cost, travel, material provision and preparations, etc.) that should amount to at least 30% of the overall project budget.

The entire process from proposal submission until the end of service delivery could take up to 12 months in the case that your proposal is selected for funding.</p> <p>Your data and content of your application will be kept confidential and will be shared only internally with FlexFunction2Sustain partners, evaluators and European Commission. General data (such as type of company or country of origin) will be used to create statistics and reports which will be exploited through the project in terms of communication activities.

The complaint procedure is not meant to question the judgement made by the evaluators; it will look at procedural shortcomings and – in rare cases – factual errors.</p> <p>Complaint requests should be raised within 7 working days from the date of the evaluation feedback sent by FlexFunction2Sustain Helpdesk. If a complaint is submitted after that deadline it will be rejected without further examination.</p> <p>Complaint requests sent by applicants must be:</p> <ul> <li>related to the evaluation process;</li> <li>sent by email to FlexFunction2Sustain Helpdesk;</li> <li>received within the specified time limit specified.</li> </ul> <p>An initial reply will be sent to complainants no later than two weeks after the deadline for complaint requests. This initial reply will indicate when a definitive reply will be provided.</p> <p>A complaint committee may be convened to examine the peer review evaluation process for the case in question. The committee’s role is to ensure a coherent interpretation of requests and equal treatment of applicants. The complaint committee itself, however, will not re-evaluate the proposal, but it will examine the eligibility of the complaints and factual arguments and claims of the complaints. Depending on the nature of the complaint, the committee may review the evaluation report and individual comments. In the light of its review, the committee will recommend an action. Only, if there is clear evidence of a shortcoming that could affect the eventual funding decision, it is possible that all or part of the proposal will be re-evaluated.</p> <p><strong>Please note:</strong></p> <ul> <li>This procedure is concerned with the evaluation process;</li> <li>The committee will not call into question the judgment of the individual evaluators;</li> <li>A re-evaluation will only be carried out if there is evidence of a shortcoming that affects the quality assessment of a proposal. This means, for example, that a problem relating to one evaluation criterion will not lead to a re-evaluation if a proposal has failed anyway on the other criteria;</li> <li>The evaluation score following any re-evaluation will be regarded as definitive. It even may be lower than the original score;</li> <li>Only one complaint request per application will be considered by the committee;</li> <li>All complaint requests will be treated confidentially.</li> </ul> </div> </section> </div> </div> <article id="post-126" class="post-126 page type-page status-publish hentry"> <div class="wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"> <div class="wp-block-group__inner-container"></div> </div><br class="clear"> </article> </section> </main> <div class="bgsection"></div> <footer class="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="fblockwrapper"> <div class="fblock1 fblock"> <h3>Explore Site</h3> <p><a href="https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en">HOME</a></p> <p><a href="https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/our-ambition/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en">PROJECT</a></p> <p><a href="https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/offering/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en">APPLICATIONS & INDUSTRIAL USE CASES</a></p> <p><a href="https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/open-calls/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en">OPEN CALLS</a></p> <p><a href="https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/open-innovation-ecosystem/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en">OPEN INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM</a></p> <p><a href="https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/knowledge-base/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en">KNOWLEDGE BASE</a></p> <p><a href="https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/news-publications/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en">NEWSROOM</a></p> <p><a href="https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/contact-us/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en">CONTACT US</a></p> </div> <div class="fblock2 fblock"> <h3>Project Details</h3> <p><strong>DT-NMBP-03-2019 </strong>Open Innovation Test Beds for nano-enabled surfaces and membranes</p> <p><strong>Type of action: </strong>Innovation action (IA)<strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Starting date:</strong> 1<sup>st</sup> April 2020<strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Duration of the project:</strong> 52 months</p> </div> <div class="fblock3 fblock"> <h3>Funding</h3> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-46 alignnone" src="https://flexfunction2sustain.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/EU_flag-250x167.png" alt="" width="80" height="53" srcset="https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/EU_flag-250x167.png?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en 250w,https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/EU_flag-700x467.png?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en 700w,https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/EU_flag-768x512.png?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en 768w,https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/EU_flag-1536x1024.png?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en 1536w,https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/EU_flag-120x80.png?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en 120w,https://flexfunction2sustain-eu.translate.goog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/EU_flag.png?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=en 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 80px) 100vw, 80px"><br> This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n°862156, project FlexFunction2Sustain</p> </div> <div class="fblock4 fblock"> <h3>Contact Info</h3> <p><strong>Project Coordinator</strong></p> <p>Dr. Christian May<br><em>Fraunhofer FEP</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Project Manager</strong></p> <p>Anastasia Grozdanova<br><em>AMIRES</em></p> <p><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=en&tl=nl&hl=en&u=https://owncloud.amires.eu" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="socicons svg-open wp-image-279 alignright" title="svg" src="https://flexfunction2sustain.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/user-circle-solid.svg" alt="" width="25" height="150"></a></p> <div class="socicons faw"></div> </div> </div> </footer> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://flexfunction2sustain.eu/wp-includes/js/hoverIntent.min.js?ver=1.10.2" id="hoverIntent-js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" id="megamenu-js-extra"> /* <![CDATA[ */ var megamenu = {"timeout":"300","interval":"100"};
