## Tips for applicants

- Since the call is single-stage but includes a pitch, prepare your pitch materials alongside the written application rather than after submission.
- Ensure your consortium explicitly documents mandatory industry involvement and coverage of at least two Knowledge Triangle sides, this is a hard eligibility gate, not a scoring preference.
- With only 57 days to the deadline and a tight turnaround to pitch invites (4 days later), line up partner agreements and legal-entity documentation early.
