MP for Development of Innovation MP-DoIare transnational cooperation projects that aim to improve the quality of training systems through the development of innovative contents, methods and procedures within VET • react to an innovation pressure (gap) that several countries have in common and should lead to brand new solutions for the identified needs: clear benefit with European-scope • production of tangible materials, products, methods and approaches in the field of vocational training and guidance (no training activities as such) • plan a lot of time for development and enough time for testing (therefore DOI can be 3 years long) • solutions are introduced in all partner countries; consider IPR 9

  30. Useful tips Respond to the policy priorities. All communications are sent to the co-ordinator’s address: make sure that you indicate the right person and the right address (both e-mail and postal) on the application form. Strong proposal is: Coherent (problems, solutions, target groups, activities, budget, ambitions/resources/competence); Simple (objectives, approach); Evidence based (ex-ante needs analysis, state of art); Clear (identifying the need for such proposal, the solutions, and the outputs) Rigorous in its planning (which activities, when, for how long, and with what resources); Explicit (do not give for granted any information, if it is not in the application it cannot be taken into account); Circumscribed (a proposal is not about solving the worlds' problems, but about solving a specific issue however complex this might be). 30
