When is the deadlinedeadline ? Is it enough time to prepare the proposal ? What ideaidea ? do I know which are the topicstopics addressed by the call ? What type of instrumentinstrument is more suitable for my idea ? do I know which are the ‘instruments’ and the differences between them ? Who should I contactcontact ? do I know researchers acting in the field of the topic ?
Do I want to be a co-ordinator or just a partner ? Who can helphelp me in setting up the proposal ?
