The European Commission had announced new Step 1 functionalities for 22 June 2021.
These new functionalities mainly consist of 5 additional questions that are also asked in Step 2 and are quite important in the Step 2 Business Plan Module.
We feel this benefits applicants as evaluators already look at the key answers in Step 1 and the evaluator’s feedback can really help for Step 2.
There is an exciting feature that shows a Project Theme Overview to help us understand which themes the AI Tool identifies and which themes the AI Tool identifies ad recent/novel.
