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
  • 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

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
