Implementing a European project is never easy. When you are first starting to become part of the world of European programmes, you want to know which programmes are closest to your expertise. You need to be able to tell if you have an actual rate of success and if you are going to submit a proposal that will actually be worth the time.
Your expertise, however, is not the only thing that plays an important role when it comes to the success of your proposal. Every proposal submitted has to go through a long list of processes until the final evaluation. The success rates of a programme as well as the allocated budget also affect the outcome of the proposal evaluation. They also are a great indicator when it comes to choosing the right programme to be part of.
Horizon 2020, Europe’s biggest financial framework, is the most popular among the different European Programmes. Everyone want’s to be a part of an Horizon 2020 but without proper knowledge of the statistics of the programme, organizations will not be able to somewhat predict a potential result or choose the right call and grant to apply for!
Under that premise, the European Union has released the Horizon Dashboard. The Horizon Dashboard is an intuitive and interactive reporting platform, composed of a set of sheets that allows a series of views to discover and filter the Horizon 2020 data. The aim of the Horizon Dashboard is to facilitate data sharing, providing public access to real-time programme data in an easy, flexible and user-friendly manner.
