Deliverable 5.1 – Workshop materials and video tutorials

Project Summary and Objectives

DIAMONDS4IF project aims to support Horizon 2020 (H2020) beneficiary companies in further developing their projects and applying to the ETS Innovation Fund (IF), which helps them overcome barriers in turning R&D (Research and Development) into successful businesses.
One of the main outcomes of the DIAMONDS4IF project will be the production of at least five sound proposals, including detailed plans for scalability, commercialization, and financial models for submission to the IF.
Within WP5, interested parties will receive support through a self-assessment tool, video tutorials and workshop material (tutorial presentations). Each applicant who has successfully passed the selfassessment check and/or a project’s viability check will be provided with specific workshops relevant to all major parts of the Innovation Fund application.

For this purpose, this deliverable aims to describe the developed materials and tools, such as video tutorials, which summarize the most important content of an Innovation Fund application.

Purpose of This Document

This report gives an overview of the materials and tools created in the project months 1 to 9 as well as the creation of media channels used for their promotion (YouTube, Website, LinkedIn).

In the first chapter, the focus is on visualising the entire application process, offering potential applicants the opportunity to check their project idea against the Innovation Fund criteria and requirements.
The second chapter presents the materials and tools developed to facilitate the application process, comprising the video tutorials created by PNO and the Innovation Fund guidelines.

Finally, in the third chapter, we illustrate the structure and content of workshops specifically designed for Innovation Fund applicants, aimed at improving the quality of the application documents.
