The participation in Horizon 2020 is given top priority at NTNU and consequently there is a separate support team at NTNU with operative EU consultants, at each of the faculties, co-ordinated by the Vice-Chancellor's staff for research.
External consultancy, guidance, evaluation and training are offers to NTNU's personnel and the objective is that these services shall contribute to quality improvements of proposals for Horizon 2020, other related programmes and major national programmes, which can supplement the internal Horizon 2020 and national programme teams at NTNU.
The objective of the procurement of these services is to render it possible for NTNU's personnel to decide on a strategy, obtain necessary knowledges and skills, for the improvement of the quality of positioning and presenting research applications to Horizon 2020 and other programmes mentioned above.
