Advice for applicants

Analyse the work programme carefully

Apply if you see a clear opportunity that fits your strategy

Choose your partners carefully

Do not view EC grants only as a source of cash, but as a means to access know-how & resources from partners.

Managing the project yourself is a major task – it needs to be properly planned & resourced – but you have control.

Use support structures: National Contact Points (NCPs), Fit-for-Health, …

Biotech, tools & technologies
