We guide stakeholders located in Flanders during the whole process of planning and application to a call topic. Any Flanders-based organisation can request advice from the NCP advisors free of charge.

Planning & developing of your Horizon Europe project proposal

Tips and tricks to write a good proposal as well as the steps of the evaluation process are elaborated in this video series on Proposal Writing under Horizon Europe (only for registered users).

NCP Flanders’ Infosheets offers a deep dive into specific issues and answer to frequently asked questions. Several of our infosheets can be of help for preparing your proposal.

Pre-screening & review of your proposal against the EU criteria

Under certain conditions, NCP Flanders reviews draft project proposals according to the EU selection criteria. Stakeholders based in Flanders can request a proposal review but should be aware we have limited capacity. The earlier in the process you send us your request, the more likely we will be able to answer positively.

Does you organisation has a European Liaison Office? First check with your support office as they might offer proofreading services.

What do we offer? Feedback on your draft proposal according to the relevant evaluation criteria for call topics under Pillar II of Horizon Europe main work programme and under the Digital Europe main work programme and cybersecurity work programme.

 

Elements to take into account if you consider to send us a request for proposal review:

  • Whether we can grant your request will depend on the NCP team’s capacity
  • Whether we can grant your request will depend on when in the process we receive it: the proposal should be in a close-to-final state and not significantly exceed the page limit as stated by the call
  • A timeline with deadlines will be agreed between the NCP and the applicant. If deadlines are not respected, NCP Flanders cannot guarantee the proposal review service
  • Priority is given to requests coming from coordinators. A partner in a project can also request a review but if granted, the focus will be on the part this partner is contributing
  • Priority is given to stakeholders who do not have access to a support office
  • NCP Flanders will only review the proposal once and will only deliver feedback once

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
