I3 Instrument Support Facility virtual event - How to build a successful I3 proposal?

As the new Work Programme 2025-2027 for I3 has been adopted and 2025 calls for Strands 1 and 2a have been recently announced, the audience will gain insights into the rationale, scope, and expectations of this funding instrument, as well as practical guidance on navigating in the 2025 calls structure and logic. The main aim of this virtual event is to give the participants understanding what they can gain from participating in I3 instrument projects, what should they keep in mind, e.g. what kind of partnership to form and what is needed for a successful application.  

The session is planned to be held after the online info day organised by EISMEA on 11 June. This session will be tailored to minimise overlap and duplication, but will try to be more hands-on by providing examples of projects and how they developed a consortium and a project application, highlight the viewpoint of an I3 evaluator how they look at proposals and what they want to see in a project application and will provide time for answering questions from audience members on the topic of how to prepare a successful I3 project application.   

More specifically this virtual event will help the participants to:  

• Understand the scope and expectations of I3 instrument and the programme structure.
• Understand how I3 differs from other funding instruments, such as Horizon Europe, Interreg, etc; differences in applications
• Get insights why they should participate in I3 projects and practical tips for best practices.
• Share the experiences of practitioners involved in I3 projects on what to keep in mind when preparing an I3 proposal?
• Better understand the point of view of an evaluator – what makes a proposal a good proposal?
