- Deadline1: 17 March 2009, at 17.00.00, Brussels local time.
- Indicative budget1: EUR 9.60 million2
Evaluation procedure:
- The general eligibility, selection and award criteria are set out in Annex 2 to this work programme.
- A one stage submission procedure will be followed, with possible hearings.

Eligibility criteria
A proposal will only be considered eligible if it meets all of the following conditions:
• It is received by the Commission before the deadline given in the call text.
• It involves at least the minimum number of participants given in the call text.
• It is complete (i.e. both the requested administrative forms and the proposal description are present)
• The content of the proposal relates to the topic(s) and funding scheme(s), including any special conditions, set out in those parts of the relevant work programme
Other eligibility criteria may be given in the call text.
Evaluation criteria
The evaluation criteria against which proposals will be judged are set out in article 15 of the Rules for Participation. For the 'Capacities' specific programme these are:
− scientific and/or technological excellence;
- relevance to the objectives of these specific programmes1;
− the potential impact through the development, dissemination and use of project results;
− the quality and efficiency of the implementation and management.
Within this framework, the work programmes will specify the evaluation and selection criteria and may add additional requirements, weightings and thresholds, or set out further details on the application of the criteria.
The purpose of this annex is to set out such specifications. Unless otherwise indicated in the relevant parts of this work programme, the criteria, weightings and thresholds given here will apply to all calls for proposals.
Proposals will be evaluated in line with the Commission 'Rules on Submission of Proposals and the Related Evaluation, Selection and Award Procedures'.
A proposal which contravenes fundamental ethical principles, fails to comply with the relevant security procedures, or which does not fulfil any other of the conditions set out in the specific programme, the work programme or in the call for proposals shall not be selected.
Such a proposal may be excluded from the evaluation, selection and award procedures at any time. Details of the procedure to be followed are given in the Commission rules mentioned above.
Indicative evaluation and grant agreement timetable:
- Evaluation results: estimated to be available within some 4 months after the closure date.
- Grant agreement signature: it is estimated that the first grant agreements related to this call will come into force during the second half of 2009.
- Particular requirements for participation, evaluation and implementation:
- The minimum number of participating legal entities required, for all funding schemes, is set out in the Rules for Participation.
- For the topic 3.1 ERA-NET, the project duration is expected to be 24 to 36 months.
- ERA-NETs are aimed at developing and strengthening the cooperation and coordination of national and/or regional and programmes for research infrastructures. Activities eligible for funding should correspond to: (1) information exchange, (2) Definition and preparation of joint activities and (3) Implementation of joint activities (for more details on these activities please look at Annex 4 of the 'Cooperation' work programme).
Eligible partners are only programme owners, which are typically national/regional ministries/governments responsible for defining, financing or managing research programme and programme managers such as research councils or funding agencies. For the evaluation of ERA-NET the general criteria and thresholds applicable to Coordination and Support Actions given in Annex 2 are supplemented by the following sub-criteria and thresholds:
1. Scientific and/or technological excellence - Quality of coordination (Threshold 3/5)
- The management should be supported by a suitable governance structure involving the participating organisations at an appropriate level.
2. Quality and efficiency of the implementation and the management (Threshold 3/5)
- In reference to the applicable work programme, does the proposed ERA-NET / ERA-NET Plus action pool the necessary resources between national programmes
and the Community and does it represent the most appropriate type of public funding for this pre-defined area?
3. Potential impact (Threshold 3/5)
- The participants should be the key actors within their national or regional research systems.
- The ERA-NET activities should lay the foundations for a durable cooperation between the partners involved. Is there a clearly identified and agreed European added value through a variable geometry approach?
-The forms of grant and maximum reimbursement rates which will be offered are specified in Annex 3 to the Capacities work programme.
- Reserve lists may be produced of projects that pass the evaluation but fall below the available budget in case additional budget becomes available.
- In case the budget of EUR 1 600 000 for the topic 'INFRA-2009-3.1: ERA-NET' can not be consumed (totally or partially) the corresponding budget will be transferred to the Activity 'INFRA-2009-3.3: Studies, conferences and coordination actions
