Just a quick update on this proposal. We are getting there, our WP is drafted and the budget is proposed, now it’s about fine tuning and negotiating.
We are now asked to get a couple of letters of support. The template for this is here. Do you have any idea on whom to ask for this? @amelia, @hugi or others? These can be public authorities, agencies, business clients, institutions, partners in other European projects, affiliated institutions, citizen movements, local groups etc…
The LoS signatories are allowed to edit the letter, by making it (even) more nuanced, or by concretely mentioning actions they could undertake (e.g. dissemination to the organisations they are members of), or other type of potential involvement they would wish to have. Their support is not a firm commitment.
This is the e-mail we can use when reaching out:
Dear,
[add some personal intro if you wish]
With the present email I wish to invite you to indicate your support for the Horizon2020 project Culture Change for Climate Neutrality (3CN), submitted under the Call LC-GD-10-2-2020 “Behavioural, social and cultural change for the Green Deal”. 3CN will be helping authorities access EU funding instruments and engage citizens in policy co-creation by offering and executing a comprehensive transformational participatory process with selected stakeholders. This supports the needs of decision makers with the design and/or implementation of ambitious policies and measures targeting behaviour change.
You will find attached the template for the Letter of Support. Please just replace the highlighted areas, select the check-boxed with your degree of potential involvement, and make any changes that you consider appropriate necessary.
We would really appreciate your support, as it would help us succeed in our funding application. In return, by signing this letter you will be entitled to royalty free access to the transformative programme being developed should you wish in the future to pursue your organisation’s participation.
We would need to ask if you could please send us back this Letter of Support signed by the 20th of January as pdf.
They are aiming for quantity, so we should get at least 3-4.
Note: this is in addition to the letters we need to get from cities who will be more closely involved in the project. Discussion on this is here and the final version of the letter to send out is coming soon.
