As we were discussing on Smart Specialisation Strategy and policy documents you can have a look at this platform: http://s3platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/home
Thanks Odysseas, could you please also share with us Proposal Reviewers' list?
Templates for budget and Gantt chart are uploaded. I'll soon upload the Evaluators Register List as well.
Is there any easily understandable (even without an MBA) description of the aspects and content and questions asked of a business plan? In particular with respect to research.

BUSINESS PLAN DEVELOPMENT
Although there is an unlimited amount of resources (both free and paid) in the Internet for writing a Business Plan, I recommend starting from the links below:
BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS
This is a very popular tool among start ups and the tech industry. It was introduced only in 2008 but became almost a must under Lean Startup principles. You can use it as a strategy and visualisation tool but it cannot replace a detailed business plan. See the principles and check out some tools to easily create a BC:
Investigate how many projects (and budget) every organisation has won under FP7 or Horizon 2020: http://ec.europa.eu/budget/fts/index_en.htm

Dear Odysseas,
During the project camp one of your suggestion is using Business Model Canvas. I have some confusion.
When we using canvas we have to focus Phase 1 (12 months activities) or general business model of Center of Excellence.
Regards
Hello Odysseas, I would have a question in regard to citations and references. We are supposed to provide a boat-load of numbers and details. How do we demonstrate that we did not make them up? Footnotes would take up too much space. Are they supposed to appear in the end? Thanks, Gerhard
Hello Odysseas, some more questions:
1) Project coordinator: besides good English and being approachable to H2020, are there any other considerations? We wonder if a person with a business background or a research background would be better. Teaming is about a CoE, but phase 1 is a business plan. Could there be two coordinators?
2) Section 3.4 (Resources to be committed): does this refer to the H2020 support for phase 1 and how we will spend it, or does this ask for additional funds from our side to be spend during phase 1?
3) It is no clear to us what the difference is between section 3.3 (Consortium as a whole) and 4.1 (Members of the consortium/Participants). Does 4.1 just give more information on the same topic?
Thanks so much for your help,
Gerhard
1/ You may have a Coordinator (better to be high profile scientific personnel from the main applicant) and a Head of Business Planning (could be a person with Business background).
2/ It refers to H2020 support, project budget.
3/ Consortium as a whole presents complementarity and how partners work together to achieve the goals, while 4.1 asks particular information from each individual partner according to a specified template.
