What this call funds

Expected Impact:

Proposals should present the concrete results which will be delivered by the activities and demonstrate how these results will contribute to the topic-specific impacts. This demonstration should rely on a solid analysis of the current situation, realistic assumptions and baselines, and establish clear causality links between activities, results and impacts.

In terms of qualitative impact, proposals under this topic should demonstrate how they will contribute to the following outcomes:

  • Integrated services fully implemented, operational and tested before the end of the project evidenced, for example, by established infrastructure, formalised partnerships, recruited staff, and launched outreach activities. During a pilot phase, proposals must trigger the first investments that validate the service concept, with the understanding that actual delivery at the worksites, comprehensive scaling of activities and subsequent investments will continue beyond the project’s completion.
  • Strong and trustworthy partnerships with local actors, such as SMEs, architects, engineers, energy service companies (ESCOs), financial institutions, chambers of commerce, professional associations, local and regional authorities, energy agencies, and civil society organisations. Evidence may include, for example, signed commitment charters, collaboration agreements, or framework contracts.
  • Increased awareness and trust among end-users, evidenced by clear accountability mechanisms such as, for example, comprehensive quality assurance mechanisms and/or dedicated consumer protection policies

These are Bemzu's estimates from the call's structure (the number of stages and whether a consortium is required) not figures published by the Commission. Only the co-financing share is read from the call itself.

Where these conditions come from

Two kinds of row. Most are the sentence we read the condition from, quoted out of the call itself. Some say plainly that they are not a quotation but the programme's own rule for this type of action, the EU portal publishes a table of contents where the conditions should be, so for a Research and Innovation Action the rate comes from the rulebook rather than from the fiche.
