General Calls Information

In order to submit a project proposal, applicants must use the on-line tools provided for this purpose by the European Commission through its “Participant Portal”, which can be accessed through the Calls pages (pages become available on the day the Calls are opened):

H2020-ECSEL-2018-1-IA-two-stage

H2020-ECSEL-2018-2-RIA-two-stage

H2020-ECSEL-2018-3-CSA-Industry4.E-one-stage

H2020-ECSEL-2018-4-CSA-Mobility4.E-one-stage

All the documents related to the ECSEL JU Calls for Proposals 2018 are provided for the applicants convenience in the Calls 2018 Documents section on this website as well as in the Calls Pages in the Participants Portal. However, the templates (editable documents) for the proposals submission can only be downloaded for the Calls Pages in the Participants Portal when a draft proposal is created – models (pdf files) are provided just for the applicants’ information. Applicants are advised to check the Guide for Applicants to ECSEL JU Calls for Proposals before preparing and submitting their proposal.

H2020-ECSEL-2018-1-IA and H2020-ECSEL-2018-2-RIA are both two-stage Calls. Therefore, the submission of a Project Outline (stage 1) is mandatory. Only proposals having submitted a Project Outline and successfully passed this first stage evaluation (scored above threshold) will be allowed to submit a Full Project Proposal.

H2020-ECSEL-2018-3-CSA-Industry4.E and H2020-2018-4-CSA-Mobility.E are both one-stage Calls.
 

Full details of the topics open for proposals, terms and conditions for participation, funding budgets, funding rates, evaluation criteria (including weighing factors),etc. for each of the Calls are available in the ECSEL JU Work Plan 2018 (see the Calls 2018 Documents section).
