GUIDE FOR PROPOSERS
PART 1
2nd EDITION, DEC 1999 A_PG1_EN_200001.doc
Foreword
The Guide for Proposers is part of the information necessary to make a proposal for a programme under the Fifth Framework Programme. It will help you to locate the programme which is of interest to you and will provide the necessary guidance on how to submit a proposal and the forms for proposal submission. It is divided into two main parts and four sections.
PART 1
Section I describes the overall priorities, goals and structures of the Fifth Framework Programme.
Section II describes the priorities and objectives of the Specific Programme on Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources.
Section III outlines the main rules which define who may participate in the Fifth Framework Programme, and the general conditions for this participation.
PART 2
Section IV provides detailed information for each CALL FOR PROPOSALS for the programme Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources, as well as proposal submission forms.
The additional documents you will need to prepare a proposal are :
The Work Programme for the Specific Programme you are applying for. The Work Programme provides the description of the content of the action lines or research objectives, which are open for proposals, and an indicative timetable for programme implementation (“roadmap”).
The Call for Proposals as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This will tell you which action lines are open for proposals and what the deadline for the proposal submission is.
The Evaluation Manual (as well as programme specific guidelines that may be included in Part 2 of this Guide). These documents will provide details of which criteria will be used in the evaluation of proposals, which weight is attributed to each of the criteria and where appropriate the threshold to be attained in order to be retained. You can use the evaluation manual and the guidelines as a checklist for the completeness of your proposal.
The Guide for Proposers, including the proposal submissions forms, is together with the Work Programme, the Call for Proposals and the Evaluation Manual the Information Package for a Call. This Guide for Proposers also contains references to other documents, reports, forms and software tools which are of assistance in the preparation of proposals. They are available on CORDIS: http://www.cordis.lu.
This Guide for Proposers does not supersede the rules and conditions laid out, in particular, in Council and Parliament Decisions relevant to the Fifth Framework Programme, the various Specific Programmes nor the Calls for Proposals in these Programmes.

PART 1
I. The Fifth Framework Programme
I.1. Objectives
The Fifth Framework Programme, adopted on 22nd December 1998, defines the Community activities in the field of research, technological development and demonstration (hereafter referred to as “RTD”) for the period 1998-2002.
The Fifth Framework Programme differs from its predecessors. It has been conceived to help solve problems and to respond to major socio-economic challenges facing the European Union. It focuses on a limited number of objectives and areas combining technological, industrial, economic, social and cultural aspects.
Priorities have been chosen according to three basic principles which will apply for all levels: the Framework Programme as a whole, the Specific Programmes implementing it and the RTD activities covered by those programmes.
· European “value added” and the subsidiarity principle, for example, to reach a critical mass or contribute to solving problems of a European dimension,
· Social objectives, such as quality of life, employment or protection of the environment in order to meet the expectations and concerns of the Unions citizens,
· Economic development and scientific and technological prospects in order to contribute to the harmonious and sustainable development of the European Union as a whole.
I.2. Structure and contents
The Fifth Framework Programme consists of seven Specific Programmes, of which four are Thematic Programmes and three are Horizontal Programmes.
The Thematic Programmes are :
· Quality of life and management of living resources
· User-friendly information society
· Competitive and sustainable growth
· Energy, environment and sustainable development.
In line with the provisions set out in the EC Treaty, the widely ranging Horizontal Programmes underpin and complement these Thematic Programmes.
The Horizontal Programmes are:
· Confirming the international role of Community research
· Promotion of innovation and encouragement of participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
· Improving human research potential and the socio-economic knowledge base.
One essential new characteristic of the Fifth Framework Programme is the integrated, problem-solving approach. Integration is strengthened at three levels:
Ш By the key action concept in the Thematic Programmes. Key actions are major innovations of the Fifth Framework Programme. They will enable the many and varied aspects of the economic and social issues to be targeted, by integrating the entire spectrum of activities and disciplines needed to achieve the objectives.
Ш By integration between Horizontal and Thematic
