2019 Innovation Joint Call for Proposals: Infectious Diseases (incl. AMR) and Smart Cities (CLOSED)
4th Joint Call for Proposals (Innovation) in the Thematic Areas
of Infectious Diseases (including Antimicrobial Resistance [AMR]) and Smart Cities.
Type of funded projects: Southeast Asia-Europe Joint Call Projects must comprise of at least 3 partners from 3 different countries (either 2 different Southeast Asian partners and 1 European partner or 2 different European partners and 1 Southeast Asian partner) applying for funding from funding agencies participating in the call. The proposals have to cover the thematic areas of Infectious Diseases (including Antimicrobial Resistance [AMR]) or Smart Cities to enhance bi-regional co-operation and develop new partnerships as well as strengthen existing ones. The 2019 Innovation call aims to support projects with a strong application focus and the targeted Technology Readiness Level (TRL) at the end of the project should at least be 3[1].
Deadline: 18 November 2019 12:00 (noon) CET/ 18:00 Jakarta time
Thematic Areas
1) Infectious Diseases (including Antimicrobial Resistance [AMR])
There is a long tradition of cooperation on infectious diseases between Europe and Southeast Asia and health research is a proven strength of both regions. Nonetheless, major obstacles exist to overcome the existing and increasing global health challenges including the need for a deeper understanding of diseases pathology and the socio-economic causes of the diseases and linked effectiveness of health intervention.
There is a strong potential for collaboration in the area of antimicrobial resistance, as South-East Asia is affected by situations similar to Europe and requiring actions to which it can contribute.
2) Smart Cities
The sustainable development of urban areas is a challenge of key importance. It requires new, efficient, and user-friendly technologies and services, in particular in the areas of energy, transport and ICT. However, these solutions need integrated approaches, both in terms of research and development of advanced technological solutions, as well as deployment in the following areas:
• Smart Energy Systems
• Building and Space Sustainability
• Intelligent Transport and Mobility
• Societal Challenges: inclusion, education, health, tourism, etc.

Evaluation Process
The evaluation process includes the following steps.
- Eligibility check
The Joint Call Secretariat (JCS) will check all pre-proposals to ensure that they meet the formal criteria of the call (date of submission, number and country distribution of participating research partners, inclusion of all necessary information in English and length). The JCS will forward the proposals to the National Contact Points who will perform a check for compliance to country/regional rules (as described in respective "National Guidelines for applicants”).
Please note that proposals not meeting the formal criteria or the national/regional eligibility criteria and requirements may be declined without further review.
- Peer review
Independent scientific/business experts in the relevant thematic research fields will carry out the anonymous peer review of the eligible project proposals according to evaluation criteria set up by the funding parties. Each proposal will be evaluated by three evaluators (at least one Southeast Asian and one European peer reviewer). The peer reviewers will be nominated by the Southeast Asian and European National Contact Points in cooperation with the funding parties.
The evaluation is done using the following evaluation criteria:
- Potential impact and expected outcomes/ marketability of product or service to be developed(scoring from 0 to 10)
- Market-need for the product/service to be developed. Has the team give a sound justification for the need for the product/service?
- Assessment of the chances for a successful commercialisation including a brief comparison with other potentially competing products or services
- Potential to meet market, economical and societal needs and significant exploitation potential
- Prospects for establishing efficient and sustainable partnership within the network, including transfer of know-how and experience
- Appropriateness of measures for the dissemination and/or exploitation of trans-national projects results, and management of intellectual property
- Scientific/technological excellence and innovativeness of the product/service to be developed (scoring from 0 to 10)
- Sound concept. Has the team a sound and credible concept for the development and commercialization of the product/service to be developed?
- Innovativeness of the project idea: How innovative is the project idea in comparison to existing products/services or those which are being developed currently?
- Quality and effectiveness of the methodology and associated work plan
- Good balance between the technology/knowledge available at each participating team and between the partners with a stronger focus on the research side and those with a focus on the commercialization side.
- Complementarity of qualifications and relevant experience of the coordinator and the individual participants/participating teams
- Management, Transnationality and Cooperation (scoring from 0 to 10)
- Quality and effectiveness of the management structure and distribution of tasks
- Added value of transnational cooperation
- Appropriate allocation and justification of the resources to be committed (budget, staff, equipment)
The total score of the proposal is the weighted average of the individual scores given to each criterion, rated from 0 to 10. The table below summarises the scores and weight coefficients per criterion:
Criteria Score Weight
1. Potential impact and expected outcomes/ marketability of product or service to be developed 0-10 40%
2. Scientific/technological excellence and innovativeness of the product/service to be developed 0-10 40%
3. Management, Transnationality and Cooperation 0-10 20%
TOTAL 0-10 100%
Once the peer review process is finalized, the JCS will send the full proposals and pooled reviews to the Evaluation Board (EB) members. The two EBs, one for Infectious Diseases and one for Smart Cities will meet to discuss each proposal and, after consideration of the evaluation criteria, external reviews and their own discussions, the EB will make a classification of the proposals and rank proposals recommended for funding.
Funding decision
Based on the ranking list established by the EB and on available funding, the Programme Steering Committee (PSC) will take a final decision (subject to budgetary considerations). The Joint Call Secretariat will communicate to all project coordinators the final decisions about their proposal together with the main comments from the EB about the proposal. In case of a positive funding decision the national funding agencies will then get in touch with the individual project partners to initiate the process of drafting the contract.
Reporting and project output
The coordinators of all the funded projects will be asked to submit brief annual scientific project reports and a final scientific project report (within six months of the end of the project) to the JCS. All reports must be in English and use a common electronic reporting template that will be provided. The research partners are jointly responsible for delivery of the reports, and the JFS Management Team will only accept reports delivered on behalf of the consortium, via the project coordinator. The coordinators will also be asked to provide slightly adapted versions of the reports for the JFS homepage on which each project will be presented with a project portrait.
If required, each participant should submit financial and scientific reports to their national/regional funding organisations according to national regulations. The progress and final results of each individual contract/letter of grant will be monitored by the respective national funding organisations.
In addition, the following regulations will apply for all research projects that are funded through the Joint Call:
- Publications or other form of output resulting from the research for which funding was awarded should be made available to the JFs Management Team (publication of the results in open access journals is strongly encouraged).
- In any publication of results of the research for which Joint Call funding was awarded, mention must be made of the support received.
