Check the FAQ on EASME website.
Check the completeness of your proposal (all parts of the detailed budget template … from all partners)! Each partner can only participate in 1 (!) project proposal per topic/priority
Clearly describe the division of tasks and responsibilities between partners in the project proposal. Check language knowledge of your partners—communication is key.

Pay attention to the Annexes in DoA, esp Annex 1 and Annex 2
Your budget should be detailed and should correspond to the deliverables/descriptions in the project proposal.
The budget should be cost-effective. Items referred to in the budget should be necessary for execution of the project.
Sufficient management costs for the overall coordination of the Partnership should not be underestimated.
Do not subcontract “core activities”.
Do not submit your proposal at the last moment!
