A provisional timetable for the Calls of a Specific Programme is included in each Work Programme . A Call may address the full programme, a key action, one or several research themes, areas, sectors, action lines, objectives, topics. In order to ensure co-ordination among the Specific Programmes, common Calls may be published. Proposals submitted under a Call shall be subject to a selection process presented in section III.4. Proposals must be completed in full as detailed in the Guide for Proposers Part 2.
Participants have the choice to submit the proposal either electronically or on paper.
The proposer may be required in the Call for Proposals to submit a request for a proposal number. The requested proposal number is sent back to the proposer by fax or electronic mail from the Commission. The proposal is prepared either in electronic or paper form, preferably using ProTool . The submitting partner in the consortium seeks certification for the Programme. The proposal is sent to the Commission in the form of five bound paper copies and one unbound original.
