21. How to read a call andbuild a consortium

22. Identify tasks and partners required • Start from the topic • Identify (research) tasks – outcomes expected • Identify special requirements (SME, countries, players) • Which competence would it need? • Who could be asked? -> fill in your own network -> identify gaps

23. Topic example: green urban infrastructure (GrUI) Areas Concern What are the Playgrounds? What are the discilines and competences seeked? Ecosystem service Players Who are the experts and stakeholders ?

24. What are the playgrounds Areas Concern Ecosystem service Environmental aspects Economic aspects Socio-cultural aspects Health aspects Players

25. What are the disciplines andcompetences seeked? Areas Concern Non-environmental functions Biodiversity Ecosystem service Sustainable use of GrUI Innovation potential Planning and governance approaches Players

26. Who are the experts and stakeholders? Ecosystem service Areas Concern Players Cities (owners) Regions (policy) Users (interests) Service providers (urban landscaping, IT-tools for planning…)

30. What problem are you trying to solve? talk policy and market What is the Global / European priority? Is it only a local problem? Is knowledge, solution, service already available? (state of the art) Does it go beyond? Why now? (what were barriers so far?) think economy and society Why this consortium? Are you the best people to do this work? Whatmakesa good proposal?

31. Partners by project outcome

32. expected impacts a brainwalk

33. How can you know and show?

34. What is a brain walk? • Call it a walk through different subtopics for brainstorming! • Procedure: • Write subtopics in the middle of a flipchart • Distribute flipchart on the walls • Ask participants to stay with each flipchart for 5 -10 minutes and add what comes in their minds

35. Partners by project outcome

36. Create work packages
