1 Proposal Template - Part BInstructions for completing Part B of the ProposalThe Proposal is composed of two parts: Part A and Part B.Please note that proposals must be submitted through the online tool in English to thefollowing address: http://www.f-interop.eu/index.php/open-call before the deadline,according to the procedure described in Section Error! Reference source not found. of thisGuide. Part A and Part B must be saved in PDF format and must not exceed 10Mb total size.Proposal Part B contains the description of the content of the proposed work and covers, amongothers, the concept and objectives of the project, the implementation details and the impact that isexpected to arise from the proposed work.The instructions to complete Part B of the proposal are inserted along the template itself, explainingthe expected content in each section using text in italics. You may eventually delete them from thefinal version of the Part B you intend to submit. Please keep the evaluation criteria always in mind(Sections 6 and 12) and follow carefully the above-mentioned instructions when preparing Part B ofthe proposal.Beside the template for drafting Part B provided in the following pages, a “stand alone” electronic wordversion of it can be obtained through the F-Interop project website, in the section “Open call”, at thefollowing link: http://www.f-interop.eu/index.php/open-callIt is in your interest to keep your text concise since over-long proposals are rarely viewed in a positivelight by the evaluating experts. Part B of the proposal should therefore not exceed 10 pages.F-Interop – Proposal Template, page 5 of 15
