1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT (FOR ELIGIBILITY
EVALUATION)
(2 pages maximum)
Important
Scientific eligibility will be evaluated by ANR and JST scientific board. Please
read carefully the section 2 “SCIENTIFIC SCOPE” of the call for proposals text
(p.5). Out of scope proposals will not be eligible to further evaluation.
Copy the summary used in the administrative and financial document (submission document). The
summary should contain the following points:
-
A description of the core concept and innovation in the field of Molecular Technology (an
illustration of the molecular structure is indispensable and a schematic representation of the global
scientific ambitions highly recommended)
-
A presentation of the scientific ambitions of the proposal and of the consortium
competences, focusing on the innovative aspects and the specific advantages of the proposed
technology compared to existing technologies
-
A position regarding the forecast for the next 20-30 years. Please present how the proposed
innovation can develop and impact the future society
2. SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL PROGRAMME, PROJECT
ORGANIZATION
2.1. SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME, PROJECT STRUCTURE
Present the scientific programme and justify the programme work breakdown into tasks consistent with the
objectives.
Provide a diagram showing the links between the various tasks (technical flow chart).
The tasks represent the broad phases of the project. Their number is limited.
In case of multidisciplinary projects, show how the scientific disciplines are interlinked.
Do not omit the activities and actions relating to the dissemination and exploitation of the results.
