Effective Practices for Preparing a Successful Tempus Application

Preparing a compelling application for the Tempus program requires careful planning and adherence to specific guidelines. Start by reviewing the Guidelines for Applicants (GfA) and utilize the Tempus website for resources like FAQs and evaluators' guidelines. Clearly demonstrate the project's relevance in the local context, identify stakeholder needs, and illustrate the consortium's capabilities. Ensure logical consistency in your Logical Framework, allocate appropriate time for project activities, and develop effective dissemination and sustainability strategies. Lastly, establish a robust quality control and management plan to ensure successful implementation.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Tempus Good practice in preparing an application • Read the GfA • Use the Tempus website • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), evaluators guidelines • Contractual documents • Updates • Consult NTO/NCP/Tempus Department • Be aware of other HE projects in the PC concerned – past or ongoing • Use the application form you find in the Tempus website

  2. Tempus Avoid the most common mistakes • Do not modify the application form • Consider that only information in the application can be assessed • Do not suppose prior technical or “historical project related” knowledge on the part of the assessor • Do not submit several similar proposals

  3. Tempus Background of the project • Demonstrate relevance of the project in the local/regional context • Show link between the PC national HE context & needs to be addressed by the project • Identify the needs of major stakeholders • Describe clearly Dept/Faculty/structure directly concerned by project

  4. Tempus Consortium • Demonstrate the relevant experience and role of each PC/EU consortium member • Demonstrate the ability of proposed consortium to address the PC Institutions’ needs and to deliver the expected outcomes

  5. Tempus The project • Ensure project proposal clearly addresses the problem & needs analysis • Use most appropriate methodology (processes/ approaches/ tools and resources) • Ensure new/up-dated subjects/procedures/courses to be introduced are relevant to the project objective(s) • Clearly indicate content of any new/up-dated subjects/procedures & duration/structure

  6. Tempus Logical framework • Ensure that the LFM is consistent with the previous sections & adequately completed • Check the logic of the project demonstrated in the LFM • Include indicators of progress realistic & relevant to the project objectives and outcomes • Remember to identify & address main assumptions & risks

  7. Tempus Workplan • Demonstrate that sufficient time has been allocated to implementation & preparation • Consider carefully the scheduling & location of activities • Ensure the most logical and cost-efficient planning

  8. Tempus Outcomes & Activities • Define each outcome clearly • Ensure a logical progression of outcomes from one project year to next • Indicate & address assumptions & risks • Propose suitable activities to achieve each individual outcome • Remember that you may re-group reoccurring activities • Distribute tasks among consortium members/experts for each activity clearly & appropriately

  9. Tempus Outcomes & Activities ctd. • Indicate and quantify all appropriate target groups • Ensure inputs requested directly relate to activities & are cost-efficient • Identify, budget & justify relevant equipment • Plan appropriate number of individuals, direction and duration of each mobility flow in relation to each activity

  10. Tempus Dissemination & Sustainability • Consider relevant dissemination & sustainability strategies • Think about internal dissemination within PC Institutions & external dissemination activities to others who could benefit • Identify suitable tools • Consult stakeholders to ensure sustainability • Consider and describe what will happen after the end of the project

  11. Tempus Quality Control & Monitoring • Choose an appropriate quality control strategy (peer reviews, accreditation, surveys) • Plan for regular monitoring measures (quantitative approaches: overall quotas and deadlines for tangible and intangible outputs) • Clearly select indicators of progress & tools for assessment appropriate to the activities?

  12. Tempus Management of the Project • Allocate roles & clear division of responsibilities to each consortium member • Integrate the PC consortium members into decision-making and implementation structure • Ensure fair decision-making processes & effective communication
