Map Consortium Role Work Packages Impact and Budget Architecture
Frame the venture's specific role within the consortium, whether as an industrial SME, technical lead, or exploitation partner. Detail the required partner profile, outline proposed work package contributions, define measurable impact metrics, and structure realistic eligible costs.
Defining these core parameters establishes the exact operational and financial footprint the venture will hold within the proposal. It ensures the venture commands a high-value, defensible position that maximises grant recovery while safeguarding background IP.
A detailed consortium matrix specifying desired partner capabilities, designated work package leadership, key performance indicators, and an itemised EU budget breakdown. The documentation must clearly differentiate background IP brought into the project from foreground IP created.
Five questions an expert would ask when reviewing your output
Use these to challenge assumptions, pressure-test your logic, and check the quality of this action's output in the context of the parent task and wider venture development.
- 1
Why is your proposed role within the consortium critical to the work packages, and could another partner easily replace you?
- 2
What specific partner profiles have you identified to complement your technical gaps, and what evidence proves their reliability?
- 3
How do your proposed work package deliverables directly translate into proprietary venture assets rather than open-access academic literature?
- 4
How have you calculated your direct and indirect eligible costs to ensure full financial recovery without risking grant audits?
- 5
What quantifiable impact metrics will you commit to that satisfy Horizon evaluation criteria without setting unachievable commercial targets?
