FUNDING STRATEGY

Innovation Acta helps you to select the best financing strategy to implement your project idea and identify the right partners for Consortium building. To this aim we avail of our proprietary database of high-level contacts in the scientific field.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Innovation Acta assists you in the organization and writing of the proposal and takes care of its formal submission. Once granted, our aim is to support the management of the project, the administrative issues, progress reports preparation and submission. Legal assistance (grant agreements and Consortium agreements preparation, amendments, ethical issues) is also provided.

PROJECT REVIEW

Innovation Acta's Grant Managers make an independent revision on the project proposal, further checking if it fits with the European call requests, thus increasing the chances of a successful proposal.

COMMUNICATION

Innovation Acta supports the Consortium in the communication and dissemination activities of the project.
Innovation Acta’s competent and qualified staff flanks the partners during the life-cycle of the project to achieve the following objectives:

• To communicate and disseminate the project results beyond the project partners to a larger audience and potential users of the results, including the clinical/scientific community, the general public and the patients, as they are a key target of project results;

• To facilitate and promote interaction with stakeholders (like patients and their families, clinicians and regulatory agencies etc.).

A project website is implemented by Innovation Acta with an appropriate protocol for updating the information on activities and results of the project. The website acts as an information tool with a public facing section and a private section. Innovation Acta creates and manages the social accounts, by sharing news and contents provided by all the Consortium partners.

Innovation Acta creates the visual identity of the project including web design (graphic material and contents). In particular, Innovation Acta takes care of the design of logo, document and slide templates, illustrative graphs, posters, brochures and newsletters of the project.
