RISE OBJECTIVES
RISE OBJECTIVES
The RISE scheme promotes international and cross-sector collaboration through exchanging research and innovation staff, and sharing knowledge and ideas from research to market (and vice-versa). RISE involves organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors (in particular SMEs), based in Europe (EU Member States and Horizon 2020 Associated Countries) and outside Europe.
RISE SCOPE
Support is provided for the development of partnerships in the form of a joint research and innovation project. This is a imed at knowledge sharing via international as well as intersectoral mobility, based on secondments of research and innovation staff (exchanges) with an in-built return mechanism. Secondments shall always take place between legal entities independent from each other.
TYPE OF SECONDMENTS
▪ Intra-European (MS/AC) + Intersectoral
(academic & non-academic sectors)
▪ International (MS/AC and TC)

! Secondments from a TC to a MS/AC are not always eligible for EU funding but all of them must be described in the proposal.

(On page 3 of General Annex A to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-‐2020)
-‐ Horizon 2020 Associated Countries (check updated list on the ParJcipant Portal)
-‐ The Third Countries listed (On page 3 of General Annex A to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-‐2020)
Eligibility for funding
Countries not listed previously are not eligible for EU funding In pracJce, those countries are mainly: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Russia, United States. In very excep$onal cases, partners from those countries might be funded. But the following condi$ons have to be fulfilled:
a) This partner has competences/exper$se that no organisa$on in MS/AC has
b) The relevant transfer of knowledge can only be done via a secondment in the direc$on TC→MS/AC
c) Points a) and b) must be endorsed by the expert evaluators

Unit costs per researcher per month
For secondments eligible for funding
*These unit costs are subject to a funding rate of 100% and no country coefficients apply.
Financial Regime
• Unit cost: Each eligible secondment month generates an income for the project of €4600. - €2100 top-up allowance for researcher "Part A" - €1800 research training and networking cost "Part B" - € 700 management and indirect cost "Part B"
• Each beneficiary will report and claim unit cost for staff it sends on secondment (+ staff received from 3rd country partners). All calculations are automatic based on researcher declarations.
• How part B (€1800+€700) is spent and distributed among beneficiaries/partners is not determined. Each project is free to decide how to use this contribution to do the project.

A reminder about the financial regime
…actually mandated by the RISE grant
• To ensure the best conditions for the researchers/staff before going on secondment
• To inform seconded researchers/staff about their rights and obligations
• Establish a consortium/partnership agreement to settle the financial regime applicable to the project
• Align distribution of funds with the needs of the project
• Communication of results

Objective: to maximise the benefits associated with diving while minimising its negative impacts, thus achieving the environmental, economic and social sustainability of the system. This will be done by: 1) Carefully assessing and modelling the system itself; 2) Developing innovative products based on the issues and needs highlighted by assessment and modelling; 3) Promoting the uptake of such products by the system designing tailored business models and marketing plans. Direct engagement with selected stakeholders (divers, professionals, diving operators, certification agencies - CAs, MPAs, NGOs) will ensure relevant feedback throughout the project’s lifetime, as well as effective uptake of results at the end of the project.
