What is the Application Form?

The Application Form is the template for EU grants applications; it must be submitted via the EU Funding & Tenders
Portal before the call deadline.
The Form consists of 2 parts:.

Part A is generated by the IT system. It is based on the information which you enter into the Portal Submission System
screens.
Part B needs to be uploaded as PDF (+ annexes) in the Submission System. The templates to use are available there.

How to prepare and submit it?

The Application Form must be prepared by the consortium and submitted by a representative. Once submitted, you will
receive a confirmation.

 page limit: see Call document

 supporting documents can be provided as an annex and do not count towards the page limit

 minimum font size — Arial 9 points

 page size: A4

 margins (top, bottom, left and right): at least 15 mm (not including headers & footers).
Please abide by the formatting rules. They are NOT a target! Keep your text as concise as possible. Do not use
hyperlinks to show information that is an essential part of your application.
If you attempt to upload an application that exceeds the specified limit, you will receive an automatic warning asking

3.3 WORK PACKAGES AND ACTIVITIES (N/A FOR STAGE 1)

WORK PACKAGES (n/a for stage 1)

This section concerns a detailed description of the project activities.

Group your activities into work packages. A work package means a major sub-division of the project. For each work package, enter an objective (expected outcome) and list the activities,
milestones and deliverables that belong to it. The grouping should be logical and guided by identifiable outputs.
The number of work packages should be proportionate to the scale and complexity of the project. WP1 should cover the project management and coordination activities (meetings, coordination,
project monitoring and evaluation, financial management, progress reports, etc.) and all the activities which are cross-cutting and therefore difficult to assign to just one specific work package (do not
try splitting these activities across different work packages). WP2 (and further WPs) should be used for the other project activities. You can create as many work packages as needed by copying the
structure of WP1.Include a mandatory work package called ‘Sustainability, replication and exploitation of project results’.
For Nature and Biodiversity, include also a mandatory work package on ‘Monitoring and evaluation’.
In addition, ensure your work packages cover also the following activities:
 dissemination and communication, including networking with other LIFE projects
 impact monitoring and evaluation
 reporting of (estimated and actually achieved) key-performance indicators (KPIs) in the LIFE KPI web tool within the first 9 months from grant signature and at the end of the project (n/a for
TA calls)
Work packages covering financial support to third parties ( only allowed if authorised in the Call document) must describe the conditions for implementing the support (for grants: max amounts per
third party; criteria for calculating the exact amounts, types of activity that qualify (closed list), persons/categories of persons to be supported and criteria and procedures for giving support; for prizes:
eligibility and award criteria, amount of the prize and payment arrangements).
Mandatory deliverables:
 dedicated project page on the beneficiaries’ websites
 exploitation plan including replication component / business plan including replication component / ‘After-LIFE Conservation Plan’
 extract of the project data from the LIFE KPI webtool (month 9 and end of the project) (n/a for Clean Energy Transition)
 in case of land purchase, digital copies of the land register (with "conservation clause")
Enter each activity/milestone/output/outcome/deliverable only once (under one work package).

Milestones and deliverables (outputs/outcomes)

Milestones are control points in the project that help to chart progress. Use them only for major outputs in complicated projects. Otherwise leave the section on milestones empty.
Means of verification are how you intend to prove that a milestone has been reached. If appropriate, you can also refer to indicators.
Deliverables are project outputs, which are submitted to show project progress (any format). Refer only to major outputs. Do not include minor sub-items, internal working papers, meeting minutes,
etc. Limit the number of deliverables to max 10-15 for the entire project. You may be asked to further reduce the number during grant preparation.
For deliverables such as meetings, events, seminars, trainings, workshops, webinars, conferences, etc., enter each deliverable separately and provide the following in the 'Description' field: invitation,
agenda, signed presence list, target group, number of estimated participants, duration of the event, report of the event, training material package, presentations, evaluation report, feedback
questionnaire.

For deliverables such as manuals, toolkits, guides, reports, leaflets, brochures, training materials etc., add in the ‘Description’ field: format (electronic or printed), language(s), approximate number of
pages and estimated number of copies of publications (if any).
For each deliverable you will have to indicate a due month by when you commit to upload it in the Portal. The due month of the deliverable cannot be outside the duration of the work package and
must be in line with the timeline provided below. Month 1 marks the start of the project and all deadlines should be related to this starting date.
