Total budget of 6 Mio Euro New regions: ± 3.5 Mio Euro Post-farm/other: ± 2.5 Mio Euro Funding per proposal: 300-500 keuro 15
Selection criteria 1. Suitability of overall proposal 2. Geographical impact: cross-border test beds 3. Business impact: business plan and scalability 4. Technology impact and use of standards 5. Sustainability impact 6. Financial impact 16
3. ABOUT THE OPEN CALL PROPOSAL
Proposal Template Cover page - which category do you apply for: 1. new regions 2. post farm stakeholders / other sectors, or 3. both categories Proposal description: the actual content of your proposal Cost justification and funding Total length of the proposal: not more than 15 pages.
Proposal Description (1 of 2) General description: Objectives, Work plan, Results and deliverables. SMART indicators for main objectives and results. Geographical impact: cross-border testbeds Business impact: how will the proposed IoT solution reach a large number of end-users? Technology impact and use of standards: specific attention needed for interoperability, replicability and reuse Sustainability impact: include some important KPIs, with which the impact could be measured
Proposal Description (2 of 2) Multi-actors involvement: e.g. how will the IoT value chain be addressed in the use case Implementation? Team / consortium composition & ability: description of all skills and experiences in the team to develop and exploit the proposed IoT solution Ethical issues: describe how the 'ethics by design'-way of working will be followed in the proposed use case
Costs justification and funding Costs per deliverable Costs per type of costs and per partner (subdivided in private and non-private partners) Funding, per partner, including possible Private funding of new equipment External co-funding for specific activities Requested EU sub-grant funding (70% or 100% funded)

4. FAQ S
Q Does this open call only focus on the multi-actor approach, involving tech providers, service integrators and end-users? A Yes, a proposal should follow the multi-actor approach, but there is not a fixed number of partners although proposals consisting of one single party are not eligible. For a promising proposal, applicants will have to form a strong team involving all relevant partners of the value chain. For more information on the multi-actor approach see the brochure on the website.
Q Are use cases in aquaculture, fisheries or forestry eligible for the open call? A No. Use-cases addressing new subsectors (other crops, other animals, etc.) are encouraged, but only in agri-food. Therefore, e.g. aquaculture, fisheries or forestry are not eligible sectors.
Q Which EU member states are part of the new regions? A - Especially the eastern and northern part of Europe are less covered by the current IoF2020 use cases. The current use-cases take place in the following countries: AT, BE, DE, DK, ES, FR, GR, IT, NL, UK. So all other EU member states and the H2020 associated countries are part of the 'new regions'. Note that the new use case should really take place in a new region and not just have a partner from that region in the consortium.
Q Is a use case in a non-eu-country eligible for this open call? A Yes, but this only holds for the so-called EU Associated Countries under the H2020 programme. For details see the list of Associated Countries on the website.
Q Is it enough to only have partners from a new region? A No, for challenge 1 of the open call, a use-case should really take place in a new region. This means that the testing, demonstration, etc. should take place in that region. However other partners could come from regions that are already existing in the current IoF2020 use cases.
Q What are the funding rates for the open call? A For private partners the funding rate is 70%. For public and not-for profit partners the funding rate is 100%. Furthermore, in the assessment value for money is an important criterion.
Q Where can I find additional info about Interoperability, replicability and reuse concepts within IoF2020? A Proposals for realising IoT based solutions shall aim at interoperability, replicability and reuse of the envisaged results. All the specifications can be found in the IoF2020 reference architecture available in the Open Call document section.
