NOTE: The Full Proposal (F.P.) is an extended version of the P.O. The F.P. is the main document to be used for the final selection, leading to a CATRENE label granted to the project. This document will also serve as technical annex for the applications for funding in the various countries, and as the reference document for the monitoring and reporting activities of the project. The total number of pages of the full document shall not exceed 50 pages. Full proposals exceeding this limit will be rejected. Reduce to a minimum the description of already well-known partners (Appendix). Detail only when there are new partners, SMEs, etc. Use Font size 11.

Start :	dd.mm.yyyy
End :	dd.mm.yyyy

4. Description of the work plan

The main difference between P.O. and F.P. is to be found in the Work plan description.

In the Full Proposal, each work package must be detailed, following the approach below:

description / illustration of management and structure / responsibilities (organisation of the work),

description of the work package content (goals, tasks, main forecasted issues and challenges),

description of the work per partner (justify also the relevance of small contributions),

description of the planned co-operation between partners within the work package and also with the other work packages,

description of the relevant links between work packages (illustration of links and dependencies),

illustration of the sequence and dependencies of the work by Bar chart and/or Pert chart * (incl. critical paths),

link to active project(s) in MEDEA+ / ENIAC / ITEA / FPx / ARTEMIS (and other if relevant).

(*= MS Project for Windows is the preferred tool).

Attention: This part has to be detailed and precise enough to allow the decision for a label recommendation, the application for public funding with the concerned Public Authorities and the further monitoring and reporting of the project.

Two to five pages for each work package seems a reasonably precise description.

6. Planned milestones/deliverables

This table must be filled in calendar years and with more details than in the P.O., as far as the deliverables list is concerned.

Milestones and deliverables should be indicated in the Bar chart and Pert chart of chapter 4.

WP 2	e.g. silicon chip
…
WP n	Mzz

Note: a limited set of critical master milestones should be indicated, representing key indicators for the overall project progress, and therefore facilitating its reviewing and monitoring.

7. Rationale for public funding

This part must also be more detailed than in the P.O.

To be especially emphasised is the rationale for co-operation with partners from other countries in Europe, as opposed to a purely nationalistic approach (explain the reasons why, and the benefit of).
