  7. Four typical roles ….andresponsability

  8. Coordinator - preparation Design project set-up Build consortium Write proposal Invest in time and money!! Highest risk of proposal being rejected Highest level of involvement Not easy for beginners

  9. Coordinator – management Overall leadership Motivating partners Checking progress Main contact with Commission Strong influence on the work being done High responsibility towards consortium Very time and energy consuming!

  10. Work Package leader – preparation Smaller role than coordinator Usually part of the core group doing the writing Influence on work and outcome Focus on a dedicated key part of the project Still considerable investment in time and money High level of involvement Good option for more experienced FP7 participants

  11. Work Package leader – management Role in project board Responsibility for a part of the project Strong role in reporting Motivating and controlling task leaders Not as time consuming as being coordinator Still high level of influence Traineeship for coordinator role

  12. Task leader – preparation Small role in writing, if any (in coordination with WP leader) Dedicated to a focussed task Good role for specialists Low risk if proposal fails Low level of involvement Good entry point for ambitious beginners

  13. Task leader – management Usually no role in daily management Responsible for own task Smaller role in reporting Motivating and controlling participants Some influence on the project management Traineeship for WP leaders

  14. Participant – preparation Usually very little influence (but always comments and suggestion are welcome) Sometimes last minute addition Important to look after your own interests Virtually no risk if proposal fails An easy way to start an FP7 “career” Possibility to enter a already running project

  15. Participant – management Usually one vote in General Assembly Not involved in daily management Small role in reporting own work Important to stay connected and involved Lowest level of responsibility Nice way to become familiar with FP projects

  16. Two dimensions

  17. How to choose your role? Variation in involvement and responsibility Based on your ambition and experience More involvement = more rewarding More involvement = more demanding Choose the role that fits your own strategy best!

  22. The purpose of a partner profile Make yourself, your lab, your company visible Advertise your interest in FP7 participation Attract the attention of coordinators

  23. Don’t forget! A coordinator has very little time Your profile is your business card Your profile may be the only information a coordinator has on you Your profile is your FP7 resumé

  24. What is a coordinator looking for? Technical or scientific expertise Complementarity Added value Capacity and adequate resources Adequate financial resources Long or medium term commitment A clear vision on FP7 role

  25. Contents of a good profile Written in English! Written with care, no copy-paste! Clear and correct contact details Focussed, one form per topic Publications only relevant to the topic References to other (inter)national collaborations

  26. Spread the news Upload profiles on the PS database Send to your national NCP Send to your network, friends, colleagues
