Notice Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS Research & Insights RM6126 DPS.

And the additionality and leverage raised by EU R&I programmes relative to domestic ones. - To populate the theory of change with quantitative and qualitative evidence to attribute the impacts of UK participation in H2020. - To evaluate the pathways to impact of H2020 actions applied to UK beneficiaries, highlighting where applicable interactions with national programmes e.g. synergies/obstacles with domestic resources (funders, infrastructure, advice...).
