Basic tips…
How to read the Workprogramme
Before rushing into the list of Topics, please read the general
introductory chapters and the headers (i.e. the "philosophy"
behind the KBBE concept).
Choose the "ACTIVITY" corresponding to your main interest:
sustainability…, food…, non-food biotechs…
Focus on the "AREA" that fits best with your core expertise…
Look at the "TOPICS" that seem relevant to your research field,
and ask yourself whether you would like to coordinate the
project, or be involved in the project as a partner.

How to read a Topic description
KBBE.2011.1.3-01: New/next generation of researchers for Neglected Zoonoses at the animalhuman
interface – Mandatory ICPC
Call: FP7-KBBE-2011-5
This topic focuses of targeted measures aiming at improving the career prospects for young researchers
in the animal – human interface of zoonotic diseases qualified by WHO as "neglected zoonoses".
These diseases pose significant burden / …. / In addition to the scientific aspects of the diseases,
socio-economic, cultural, institutional and decision making aspects should be also addressed with an
integrated and multisectoral approach. Coordination with ongoing EU and international activities in
neglected zoonoses should be envisaged.
Funding scheme: Coordination and Support Action targeted to SMEs. The requested European Union
contribution shall not exceed EUR 2 000 000.
Additional eligibility criteria: Mandatory participation of 4 different ICPC (of which at least 3 from Africa).
Additional selection criteria: SME Coordination and Support Action will only be selected for funding on
the condition that the requested EU contribution going to SMEs is 15% or more of the total requested
EU contribution. This will be assessed during evaluation and checked during negotiations. Proposals
not fulfilling this criterion will not be funded.
Expected impact: It is expected to establish a long-term training programme that is open to promising
young scientists / …. / It should further manage a career development programme to support young
researchers / …. / Breaking barriers and building bridges between animal health and public health
Global challenges: food security, global health, face climate change impact (which has a potential
impact on the prevalence and distribution of some of the neglected zoonoses).

How to improve our success rate ?
Do not stay alone - do not "cultivate" secrecy - get help
Look for synergies - in your country & the rest of Europe
Take the "Leadership" - whenever possible
• Co-ordination of the project, or ...
• work-package leader (presence in the management group…)
Remember :
Your project shall answer as comprehensively as possible to the whole
description of the topic written in the Workprogramme.
Be "reader-friendly" : proposal written in a clear and legible fashion (avoid
jargon, evaluators are not specialists…)
Evaluation of proposal : 3 criteria (ranked 0 to 5)
Scientific and/or Technological Excellence
Quality of consortium and management
Potential Impact (...exploitation of results)
Give them what they want !!!

What else can we do ?
Contribute to future workprogrammes (suggest new topics...)
Collaborate with Programme Committee delegates and
stakeholders groups in your country (lobbying…)
Participate to ETP's working groups (implementation...)
Apply for nomination to ad-hoc committees (EURAB, Euragri,
SCAR, EFSA, Joint Programming...)
Volunteer to be an evaluator (EC experts database)
