"Individual Fellowships. Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions. MSCA IF 2017 Call. Aspectos prácticos", por Cristina Gómez, Punto Nacional de Contacto (NCP) para MSCA en la Oficina Europea-FECYT.
The document provides tips for developing a strong proposal for the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Individual Fellowships call in 2017. It outlines the three evaluation criteria of Excellence, Impact, and Implementation. For each criterion, it describes the key aspects evaluators will assess and provides guidance on how to address these aspects effectively in a proposal. Applicants are advised to thoroughly review the call documentation, use the official proposal template, ask for support from their institution, and allow sufficient time for proposal preparation.

Panel Two: Impact in Horizon 2020 and the EU
How is Impact conceptualised and captured at the EU level, in programmes such as Horizon 2020, and how does this affect academics, research officers and policy makers at the national level?
This PPT was presented at the AVA policy debate which was held at the EESC, Brussels on the 29th of June. The action plan is the final output of the AVA project, a two-year project co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission.

Maximising Horizon 2020 Research Impact and the competitiveness of your proposalCharles Henderson
Impact is the most important aspect of a Horizon 2020 proposal for evaluators. In this presentation we show how the competitiveness of proposals can be enhanced and how research impact can be improved through the project life cycle. We give examples of how we are improving the exploitation and dissemination of existing projects.

"Designing practitioner research for impact" Miggie Pickton, DARTS4ARLGSW
Miggie will highlight the growing importance of impact in research generally including impact case studies in the REF, funders’ demands for impact statements in research proposals, and employers requiring impact on service. This section will make a link between librarians supporting researchers and doing (and using) research themselves. This will lead on to looking at opportunities for making an impact in practitioner research.
Guest lecture delivered to the Master of Leadership in Open Education programme at the University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia. An overiew of more than 10 years working on open education research projects is reviewed and the relation between research and policy explored. Responses are made to questions raised by students.

Sex refers to biological characteristics of women and men, boys and girls, in
terms of reproductive organs and functions based on chromosomal
complement and physiology. As such, sex is globally understood as the
classification of living beings as male and female, and intersexed.
Gender refers to the social construction of women and men, of femininity
and masculinity, which varies in time and place, and between cultures.
I. Gender aspects
11. Gender dimension in research and innovation (R&I) content
• Gender dimension in research content means integrating sex and
gender analysis into research.
• In other words, taking into account biological characteristics and
social/cultural features of both women and men in R&I.
• It is an added-value in terms of innovation, creativity, excellence and

• Open Science is an inclusive process aimed at promoting diversity in science
across the European Union and opening it to the general public, in order to better
address the H2020 societal challenges and ensure that science becomes more
responsive both to socio-economic demands and to those of European citizens.

“The proposal clearly describes how the
completion of the project and the acquired skills
will improve the career prospects of the
applicant.”
"The proposal demonstrates convincingly how
the fellowship will contribute to the
development of the applicant’s career,
particularly in terms of international links and
potential future international collaborations."
"Much of the work to be done is a
continuation of previous work of the
applicant, which limits its impact on
their career."
“It is not comprehensively explained in
the proposal how the training provided
will influence the researcher's career
development.”
