Minutes of meeting – OTELLO proposal to the HORIZON-INFRA-2026-TECH-01-01 call submission discussion
25th February 2026
Strategies for Improving the Proposal:
- Correct all the shortcomings from the previous evaluation, especially for criteria 1 (excellence) and 3 (implementation)
- Emphasize the importance of Otello for the FCC-ee project
- Improve the proposal in areas related to innovation, industry, and technology transfer
- Potentially include additional tasks/activities to strengthen synergies between different communities and work packages
- Reduce the number of small beneficiaries and reorganize the consortium structure to address implementation concerns
- Strengthen synergies between work packages to improve overall coherence and appeal
Key Action Items:
- Paolo to contact the new CERN Director of Research (Gautier Hamel de Monchenault) to ensure CERN's strong support for Otello
- Rebecca to set up an Indico link to upload materials and a central link for Otello proposal preparation documents
- All work package coordinators to ask their team members if they are still on board by next week
- Paolo, Daniele, and Giovanni to look into small beneficiaries that can be combined
- Paolo to create a Doodle poll to identify the best time for a bi-weekly meeting
- Submit OTELLO before deadline
Upcoming Dates:
- March 10th: Horizon Infra 2026-01-01 call opens
- Early March: Confirmation needed from all current beneficiaries on their continued participation
- March 12th (tentative): Next meeting
