Dear partners of the SmartRural consortium, The FIWARE Foundation has just approved a number of rules that will apply to our involvement and role in proposals targeted towards Open Calls within EU Funded Programs (e.g., Horizon 2020 or CEF calls). They are intended to make sure we provide an equal and balanced support to all members of the FIWARE Community (i.e., members of the FIWARE Foundation). In this respect, the FIWARE Foundation commits that it will not participate in projects playing the coordinator role if there are competing proposals where FIWARE also plays a core role and members of the FIWARE Foundation are also involved in the consortium with a core role to bring precisely support to the usage of FIWARE. We look for the implementation of this rule not only in future proposals but also for ongoing calls including DT-ICT-09. For this reason, we have agreed with FundingBox that they will assume the role of coordinator in the final application of the SmartRural project that will be submitted to DT-ICT-09. We believe this is the best choice for the project since FundingBox meet the conditions to play a neutral role which applies across all pilots. This will not affect at all the planning in place nor the resources that the FIWARE Foundation is devoting to elaboration of the proposal. The FIWARE Foundation will keep working on the contents of sections we were already taking care of and will work on finalization of the budget together with FundingBox. Of course, resources linked in the budget to the coordinator of the project will be assigned to FundingBox. Both the FIWARE Foundation and FundingBox are committed to complete the submission of a winning proposal and count on your engagement during last steps of the application process. We are happy to answer any question you may have, particularly during the meeting tomorrow.
