Objective
BOOST Project aims to ease the access of EIC Awardees (mainly EIC Pathfinder and EIC Transition projects as well as related third parties) to the EIC Booster Grants. BOOST Project will distribute EIC Booster Grants (lump-sum grants to finance innovation and portfolio activities) to at least 100 invited EIC Awardees. The Booster grant projects will receive up to €50,000 following a first-come, first-served schema. BOOST Project will also provide the EIC and EISMEA with data relevant to assessing the impact of such support. BOOST Project will do this by guaranteeing efficient and EC-rules compliant governance, adequate integration of EIC Booster grants within the EIC community support and EIC/EISMEA portfolio management activities, and gathering operative and impact data that will support evidence-based decision-making by the EIC and EISMEA.To ensure effective task execution and maximize available resources, BOOST Project utilizes a compact and agile consortium. This allows up to 83% of the total budget to be allocated to EIC awardees. The consortium includes SPL, entity specialised in cascade funding, as Call for proposals manager, MWCB, especialised in tech transfer, as Booster grant projects manager, EurA PT as monitoring and impact manager, all of them coordinated by FBA as Project Coordinator and FSTP Manager. This streamlined consortium will rely on a high-quality, curated database of over 820 experts (who regularly collaborate with the partners) to support the evaluation and assessment of Booster grant projects. All this ensuring a seamless connection with EIC procedures and practices, as all partners are actively involved in EIC projects.
