Going through the dates and setting up project folders for calls
So the list of all the calls, when they open and when the deadline for submission dates are is now here. I have decided to coordinate two of the calls on behalf of Edgeryders and we already have at least one possible academic partner through [Caroline Paulick-Thiel].
1) Need for shared vision, objective and milestones to guide the work and get us excited enough to really go for it. Some of us including Caroline have had conversations about what is needed for frutiful and generative EU project collaborations to happen.It is a big amount of paperwork and investment of time to submit one application, and often it seems things go wrong in those projects. Also it’s really not mych money so you have to be very creative and efficient in working together. Against this bakground we agreed it would make sense to identify a general vision, roadmap and objectives for what we want to achieve together, otherwise it is easy to get lost. Then we identify organisations that want to go on that journey with us, and together we map the components in reaching the objectives to different calls. [Noemi] has started this work in the Edgeryders community here. I suggest having a look at this, we can outline something together and then we can ping all the people who want to help with funding applications to a google hangout sometime in early January.
- Need for folders with templates for the different required documents and list of concepts and research references. We need to identify what official documents are needed from which organisations, templates for all the different components of an application (dissemination plan, abstract, gannt, budget etc). As well as a list of terminology and the research the designers of calls use to justify their package. I have started setting up the Edgeryders collaboration infrastructure for a number of calls including the ones you posted above [Thanasis]. Ping me on email so I can give you access to them: nadia at edgeryders dot eu
