Instructions for orientation dialogues Innovation Fund Info Day 2025
Dialogue conditions – read carefully!
- The orientation dialogues provide a high-level orientation to project promoters, focusing on potential project outline and questions related to the call text and general orientations within the framework of the call text. There are eight 25-minute time slots available and they are provided on a first come first served basis.
- You have to attend the morning presentations to book a slot for an individual orientation dialogue, and EU SME Support representatives will contact you after your booking with a short survey to ensure that your project is likely to be eligable for Innovation Fund.
- Project specific questions, whether related or not to specific award criteria or methodologies, must be avoided and will not be answered during the orientation dialogue. Such questions can only be answered via the official helpdesk. This is important to ensure equal treatment of all applicants. Please note that the orientation dialogues cannot pre-judge the outcome of the official evaluation procedure.
