\section{Summary}


\begin{official}
  \textbf{Please provide a short summary of the proposal}, which could
  be the same as the proposal abstract, built around a
  research/innovation project.
\end{official}

\section{Excellence}
\label{sec:excellence}
\begin{official}
  Literature should be listed in footnotes, font size 8 or 9. All
  literature references will count towards the page limit.
\end{official}

\begin{jymnote}
  Use \verb+\footcite+\footcite{foo12} for this. You need to use
  \verb+biber+ instead of \verb+bibtex+ (same usage otherwise). Usual
  Bibliography files may be used normally. Change the appearance when
  the \verb+biblatex+ package is loaded (in the \verb+macro+ file). You
  may use \verb+\printbibliography+ to print out the complete
  bibliography, but it is probably a waste of space\ldots

  \printbibliography
\end{jymnote}

\begin{official}
  Please note that the principles of the European Charter for
  Researchers and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers
  promoting open recruitment and attractive working conditions are
  expected to be endorsed and applied by all beneficiaries in the Marie
  Skłodowska-Curie actions.
\end{official}

\subsection{Quality, innovative aspects and credibility of the research
  (including inter/multidisciplinary aspects)}
\label{sec:excellence-quality}

\begin{official}
  You should develop your proposal according to the following lines:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Introduction, state-of-the-art, objectives and overview of the
    action
  \item Research methodology and approach: highlight the type of
    research and innovation activities proposed
  \item Originality and innovative aspects of the research programme:
    explain the contribution that the project is expected to make to
    advancements within the project field. Describe any novel concepts,
    approaches or methods that will be employed.
  \end{itemize}
  The text should emphasize how the high-quality, novel research is the
  most likely to open up the best career possibilities for the
  Experienced Researcher and new collaboration opportunities for the
  host organisation(s).
\end{official}

\subsection{Clarity and quality of transfer of knowledge/training for
  the development of the researcher in light of the research objectives}
\label{sec:excellence-training}

\begin{official}
  A two way transfer of knowledge should be described (please see
  Section 5.2 of the Guide for applicants):
  \begin{itemize}
  \item The text must show how the Experienced Researcher will gain new
    knowledge from the hosting organisation(s) during the fellowship
    through training.
  \item These organisations may also benefit from the previous
    experience of the researcher. Outline the capacity for transferring
    the knowledge previously acquired by the researcher to the host
    organisation(s).
  \end{itemize}
\end{official}

\subsection{Quality of the supervision and the hosting arrangements}
\label{sec:excellence-supervision}
\subsubsection{Qualifications and experience of the supervisor (s)}

\begin{official}
  Required sub-heading:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \underline{Qualifications and experience of the supervisor (s)}
  \end{itemize}
  Information regarding the supervisor(s) must include the level of
  experience on the research topic proposed and document its track
  record of work, including the main international
  collaborations. Information provided should include participation in
  projects, publications, patents and any other relevant results.

  To avoid duplication, the role and profile of the supervisor(s) should
  only be listed in the ``Capacity of the Participating Organisations''
  tables (see section~\ref{sec:organisations} below).

  The text must show that the Experienced Researcher should be well
  integrated within the hosting organisation(s) in order that all
  parties gain the maximum knowledge and skills from the fellowship. For
  GF both phases should be described, for the outgoing what practical
  arrangements are made in place to host a researcher coming from
  another country and for the return period what measures are planned
  for the successful re-integration of the researcher.

  The following section of the European Charter for Researchers refers
  specifically to career development:

  \important{\textbf{Career development}

    Employers and/or funders of researchers should draw up, preferably
    within the framework of their human resources management, a specific
    career development strategy for researchers at all stages of their
    career, regardless of their contractual situation, including for
    researchers on fixed-term contracts. It should include the
    availability of mentors involved in providing support and guidance
    for the personal and professional development of researchers, thus
    motivating them and contributing to reducing any insecurity in their
    professional future. All researchers should be made familiar with
    such provisions and arrangements.}
\end{official}

\subsection{Capacity of the researcher to reach and re-enforce a
  position of professional maturity in research}
\label{sec:excellence-researcher}

\begin{official}
  Please keep in mind that the fellowships will be awarded to the most
  talented researchers as shown by their ideas and their track record,
  where it is a fair indicator given their level of experience.
\end{official}

\section{Impact}

\subsection{Enhancing research- and innovation-related human resources,
  skills, and working conditions to realise the potential of individuals
  and to provide new career perspectives}
\label{sec:impact-fellow}

\begin{official}
  In this section, please explain the \underline{impact of the research
    and training} on the Experienced Researcher’s career. The
  fellowship, including any secondments in Europe should maximize the
  impact on the researcher’s activity on European society, including the
  science base and/or the economy, in a manner appropriate to the
  research field.
\end{official}

\subsection{Effectiveness of the proposed measures for communication and
  results dissemination}
\label{sec:impact-effectiveness}

\begin{official}
  Required sub-headings:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \underline{Communication and public engagement strategy of the
      action}
  \item \underline{Dissemination of the research results}
  \item \underline{Exploitation of results and intellectual property}
  \end{itemize}
\end{official}

\subsubsection{Communication and public engagement strategy of the
  action}
\subsubsection{Dissemination of the research results}
\subsubsection{Exploitation of results and intellectual property}

\begin{official}
  Concrete plans for the above must be included in the Gantt Chart. The
  new knowledge generated by the action should be used wherever possible
  to enhance the career of the researcher, to advance research, to
  foster innovation, and to promote the research profession to the
  public.

  The following sections of the European Charter for Researchers refer
  specifically to public engagement and dissemination:

  \important{\textbf{Public engagement}

    Researchers should ensure that their research activities are made
    known to society at large in such a way that they can be understood
    by non-specialists, thereby improving the public's understanding of
    science. Direct engagement with the public will help researchers to
    better understand public interest in priorities for science and
    technology and also the public's concerns.

    \textbf{Dissemination, exploitation of results}

    All researchers should ensure, in compliance with their contractual
    arrangements, that the results of their research are disseminated
    and exploited, e.g. communicated, transferred into other research
    settings or, if appropriate, commercialised. Senior researchers, in
    particular, are expected to take a lead in ensuring that research is
    fruitful and that results are either exploited commercially or made
    accessible to the public (or both) whenever the opportunity arises.}
\end{official}


\section{Implementation}
\label{sec:implementation}

\subsection{Overall coherence and effectiveness of the work plan,
  including appropriateness of the allocation of tasks and resources}
\label{sec:impl-coherence}
\begin{official}
  The proposal should be designed in the optimal way to achieve the
  desired impact. A Gantt Chart should be included in the text where the
  following should be listed:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \underline{Work Packages description};
  \item \underline{List of major deliverables}\footnote{A deliverable
      is a distinct output of the action, meaningful in terms of the
      action’s overall objectives and may be a report, a document, a
      technical diagram, a software, etc.}\footnote{Deliverable numbers
      ordered according to delivery dates. Please use the numbering
      convention <WP number>.<number of deliverable within that WP>. For
      example, deliverable 4.2 would be the second deliverable from work
      package 4.};
  \item \underline{List of major milestones}\footnote{Milestones are
      control points in the action that help to chart
      progress. Milestones may correspond to the completion of a key
      deliverable, allowing the next phase of the work to begin. They
      may also be needed at intermediary points so that, if problems
      have arisen, corrective measures can be taken. A milestone may be
      a critical decision point in the action where, for example, the
      researcher must decide which of several technologies to adopt for
      further development};
  \item \underline{Secondments if applicable}.
  \end{itemize}
  In the Gantt Chart the schedule should be in terms of number of months
  elapsed from the start of the project.
\end{official}

\subsection{Appropriateness of the management structure and procedures,
  including quality management and risk management}
\label{sec:impl-management}

\begin{official}
  Develop your proposal according to the following lines:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \underline{Project organisation and management structure},
    including the financial management strategy, as well as the progress
    monitoring mechanisms put in place;
  \item \underline{Risks that might endanger reaching project
      objectives} and the contingency plans to be put in place should
    risk occur.
  \end{itemize}
\end{official}

\begin{official}
  The following could be also included in the Gantt Chart:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Progress monitoring;
  \item Risk management
  \item Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
  \end{itemize}
\end{official}

\begin{jymnote}
  Gantt charts can be drawn with the \verb+gantt.sty+ package available
  at
  \url{http://www.martin-kumm.de/wiki/doku.php?id=Projects:A_LaTeX_package_for_gantt_plots}.
\end{jymnote}

\subsection{Appropriateness of the institutional environment
  (infrastructure)}
\begin{official}
  \underline{Give a description of the legal entity/ies and its main
    tasks} (per participant). Explain why the fellowship has the maximum
  chance of a successful outcome.

  NB: Each participant is described in
  Section~\ref{sec:organisations}. This specific information should not
  be repeated here.
\end{official}

\subsection{Competences, experience and complementarity of the
  participating organisations and institutional commitment}

\begin{official}
  Here describe how the fellowship will be beneficial for both the
  Experienced Researcher and host organisation(s).
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \underline{Commitment of beneficiary and partner organisations
      to the programme} (for partner organisations, please see also
    section~\ref{sec:organisations} and~\ref{sec:letters})
  \end{itemize}
  \textbf{Partner organisations}: The role of Partner organisations in
  MS/AC for secondments and their active contribution to the research
  and training activities should be described.
\end{official}

\begin{official}
  \textbf{Partner organisations}: The role of partner organisations in
  Third Countries and their active contribution to the research and
  training activities should be described. A letter of commitment shall
  also be provided in Section~\ref{sec:letters} (included within the PDF
  file of Part B, but outside the page limit).
\end{official}

\section{Ethical Aspects}
\begin{official}
  Ethics is an integral part of research funded by the European Union
  within Horizon 2020. Compliance with the relevant ethics provisions is
  essential from the beginning to the end of the project.

  Although research ethics is most developed within the context of
  medical research and life sciences, research ethics is of crucial
  importance for all scientific domains. Informed consent and
  confidentiality are as important for a sociological study as they are
  for clinical research. There is a strong connection between research
  ethics and human rights. Ethical research conduct implies the
  application of fundamental ethical principles to scientific research.

  Applicants submitting research proposals for funding within Marie
  Skłodowska- Curie actions in Horizon 2020 should demonstrate
  proactively to the REA that they are aware of and will comply with
  European and national legislation and fundamental ethics principles,
  including those reflected in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the
  European Union\footnote{The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the
    European Union:
    \url{http://www.europarl.europa.eu/charter/pdf/text_en.pdf}} and the
  European Convention on Human Rights and its Supplementary
  Protocols. Applicants applying for funding should clearly identify
  ethics issues and proactively address them in their proposal.

  {\color{black} \underline{\textbf{The Ethics Review Procedure in
        Horizon 2020}}}

  All research proposals submitted to the European Commission are
  evaluated both on their scientific merit and on its ethical and social
  impact. When submitting a proposal to Horizon 2020, all applicants are
  required to complete an ``\textbf{Ethics Issues Table
    (EIT)}''. Applicants who flag ethics issues in the Ethics Issues
  Table have to complete in addition a more in depth \textbf{Ethics
    Self-Assessment}.

  Please note that all proposals retained with a view to funding will be
  submitted to the Ethics Review procedure. A careful analysis and
  description of any potential ethics issues in a given proposal and a
  detailed self-assessment will help all actors involved to undergo the
  Ethics Review in an efficient manner without unnecessary delays.

  {\color{black} \underline{\textbf{Ethics Issues Table (EIT) in Part
        A}}}

  \textbf{If you entered one or more ethical issue/s in the Ethical
    Issues Table in Part A of the proposal, you are asked to submit an
    Ethics Self-Assessment in Part B.}

  Please ensure that a careful analysis of any potential ethics issues
  which may arise in the proposed research is done \textbf{before} the
  Ethics Issues Table (EIT) is completed.

  For more information, please consult the Ethics- section on the
  Research Participant Portal which comprises the \textbf{Ethics
    Self-Assessment Guidelines} and an Ethics-Issues-Table Checklist:

  \url{http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/docs/h2020-funding-guide/cross-cutting-issues/ethics_en.htm}

  {\color{black} \underline{\textbf{Ethics Self-Assessment in Part B}}}
    
  Once you have flagged an ethics issue in the Ethics Issues Table of
  Part A, the Ethics Self-Assessment in Part B must:

  \begin{enumerate}
  \item {\color{black} For each area flagged in the Ethics Issues Table,
      describe how the proposal meets:}
    \begin{itemize}
    \item the EU legislation on Ethics (e.g. Directive 2010/63/EU of the
      European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2010 on the
      protection of animals used for scientific purposes, existing EU
      legislation on data protection and privacy etc.);
    \item national legislation and good practices on research ethics;
    \item ethical requirements of any TC where research raising ethical
      issues are to be carried out.
    \end{itemize}
    For more information on how to deal with Third Countries please see
    Article 34 of the Model Grant Agreement, as well as the following
    link:\\
    \url{http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/document/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.htm}

    Please list the documents provided with their expiry date.

    Ensure early compliance of the proposed research with EU and
    national legislation on ethics in research. Should your proposal be
    selected for funding, and if you have not done this already, you
    will be required to provide as soon as possible the following
    documents:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item an opinion from an Ethics Committee/Authority, required under
      national law;
    \item any other ethics-related documents mandatory under EU or
      national legislation;
    \item if you didn’t apply for/ receive the ethics approval/ required
      ethics documents yet when submitting the proposal, please indicate
      in the proposal the approximate date when you will provide a
      missing approval/ any other ethics documents to the REA (scanned
      copy). Please stateexplicitly that you will not proceed to any
      research with ethical implications before the REA received a
      scanned copy of all documents proving compliance with existing EU/
      national legislation on ethics.
    \end{itemize}

    \important{If these ethics documents are not issued in English, you
      are requested to submit also an English summary (containing
      notably, if available, the conclusions of the Committee or Ethics
      Authority concerned).

      If you plan to request these documents specifically for your
      proposed project, your request must contain an explicit reference
      to its title.}
  \item {\color{black} Explain in detail how you intend to address the
      ethics issues flagged in the Ethical Issues Table of Part A of
      your proposal, in particular with regard to:}
    \begin{itemize}
    \item the research objectives (e.g. study of vulnerable populations
      like elderly people, sick or illiterate persons, cooperation with
      a Third Country, dual use, etc.);
    \item the research methodology (e.g. clinical trials, involvement of
      children and related information and consent/assent procedures,
      use of human tissues from blood banks, interviews with healthy
      adult volunteers, data protection and privacy issued related to
      data collected, etc.);
    \item the potential impact of the research (e.g. dual use issues,
      environmental damage, stigmatisation of particular social groups,
      political or financial retaliation, benefit-sharing, malevolent
      use, etc.).
    \end{itemize}
  \end{enumerate}
