Activities) that had been described in the Proposal submitted in the EU and the ERC, and which have been adapted to the rules and procedures of the Framework Programme RESTART 2016-2020. Innovation Activities are not permitted.

Evaluation:

• Internal Evaluation.
• The RPF accepts the result of the Scientific Evaluation of the EU and the ERC.
• In case where the Project activities must change in relation to the Proposal

submitted to the EU or the ERC (which is something more possible in the case of “ERC- Starting and Consolidator Grants” and “SME Instrument-Phase II”), the RPF remotely evaluates the quality of the content of Proposals which are later incorporated to the Project contract, during the preparation of contracts, to establish their soundness, scientific level and feasibility of their targets, compared to the original Proposal submitted to the EU or the ERC.
