Bottom-up projects selection Clause Samples

Bottom-up projects selection. The type of bottom-up projects we look for are presented in detail in Section 4.3 (Figures 4.3‑1) but, in general, consists of two types: ● Technology Transfer Programme 1: start-ups and SMEs developing building blocks for large scale pilots; new analytical tools for the toolbox. ● Technology Transfer Programme 2: start-ups and SMEs developing new services on top of existing technologies. The activation of innovative bottom-up projects interested in submitting proposals will be done through entities already connected to partners ecosystems, through networks reaching out to SMEs from all around Europe, like the ‘Enterprise Europe Network’ and the ‘NCP network’ and by organising several info days, info corners in world-class events and webinars/live Q&A. Then, all proposals will go through an exhaustive sequential filtering process as illustrated and explained. After expert evaluation by independent experts, the ‘Selection Committee’ will be responsible for ranking the proposals and selecting the final ones, which will also be reviewed by the ‘Ethical Committee’. The proposals submission and selection procedure will be done through the ‘FundingBox Platform, a web-based system which allows managing the whole open call cycle according to EC standards, and will be managed by FBA in an efficient and rapid way that is transparent, free of conflicts of interest, confidential and non-discriminatory, in order to ensure equal treatment of all participants.
