Network of Infrastructure Project Proposal

Guidance and Template for complementary information


The KAVA proposal submission consists of only one part. Part of the information will be an-
nexed directly to the annual Business Plan. The aim of this document is to guide to prepare the
project descriptions used for the project evaluation.

1. PROJECT TITLE
Check with CLC staff that the project name is not the same as or similar to the name of any
other projects

2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (½ page)


Executive summary should contain at least the following key elements: project objective,
scope, key deliverables, target audience, main impact and added value, description of main
project
activities/phases

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Background of the project (½ page)
Explain where the idea came from. What led to the project? Specify if it is based on or in-
spired from an existing initiative (involving members of the consortium or not)

3.2 Project objective and scope (½ page)


Explain what the project intends to achieve, its objectives and scope. Explain how the project
will complement existing initiatives. Specify also the geographical coverage, both from an of-
fering side (where will the product/service be offered) and from an end-customer side (who
will be able to benefit from it).

3.3 Needs and impact (1 page)


Explain who are the target end-customers and/or key beneficiaries of the educational ac-
tivity. Give an estimation of how many people/organisations will benefit from the activity.
Explain the strategic importance for the KIC of meeting these identified needs. Explain also
what could be the indirect benefits for the KIC (e.g. de-siloing, building-up the community,
leveraging effect on other KAVAs, etc.). Specify to which extent the activity will be easily
transferable and/or duplicable (to other countries, materials, themes, markets, audiences,
partners) in order to increase its impact.

3.4 Expected financial sustainability (½ page)


Explain what potential funding sources (own revenues, public funding, co-funding by part-
ners, etc.) could be considered to finance (at least partially) the continuation of the service
offering after the end of the project period.

4. POPULAR PROJECT DESCRIPTION (½ page)


Describe the project as it could be communicated to external stakeholders.

5. CONSORTIUM (½ page)
Provide a clear description of the expertise of each partner and describe the complementarity

provide access to the relevant resources and cover the relevant steps along the chain, as re-
quired to produce and deliver the solution to the targeted customers/users). In particular,
demonstrate strong involvement of relevant industrial partner(s) as required to ensure com-
mercialisation/valorisation of the developed solution on a broad geographical scope.
Provide a clear description of the specific role of each partner in the project/WPs. Describe the
project coordination mechanisms and governance structure that will be implemented.

ers, management etc.) and describe planned measures to anticipate/mitigate such risks.

Definition of critical risk:


- A critical risk is a plausible event or issue that could have a high adverse impact on
the ability of the project to achieve its objectives.
Level of likelihood to occur: (Low/medium/high)
The likelihood is the estimated probability that the risk will materialise even after taking ac-
count of the mitigating measures put in place

6.3. Management of IP issues (max. ½ page)
