Facilitating the access to public funding programmes
SQM.guide is an internet-based guide conceived for facilitating the
access to public funding programmes. For all programmes which have been
implemented on the system, SQM.guide allows to every person who is looking for
funding:
- to identify the pertinent elements of the programme
- to make an ex-ante appraisal of their project proposal
The use of SQM.guide is publicly accessible over the internet and free
of charge for the users. Usually the users will accede to it via the website of
an institution offering one or more public funding programmes and will only see
this specific programme.
The aims of SQM.guide
- To improve the visibility and accessibility of funding programmes
- To improve the transparency of objectives and procedures
- To promote the systematic consideration of the principles of sustainable
development
- To raise the number of good project proposals
- To motivate project proposers to consider their proposal in the context of
the objectives of the funding programme and of sustainable development
- To contribute to an easier writing and a higher quality of the proposals
by making publicly accessible a systematic and transparent appraisal method
and corresponding tools
- To facilitate the selection of proposals through a comparable presentation
of the proposals based on a framework including all important
contents-related criteria
- To prepare the monitoring of the projects on the basis of a systematic and
comprehensive ex-ante appreciation.
