Not applicable

28.5 Consequences of findings in checks, reviews, audits and investigations —Extension of findings

28.5.1 Findings in a specific grant

Findings in checks, reviews, audits or investigations carried out in the context of a specific grant may lead to the
rejection of ineligible costs (see Article 48), reduction of the specific grant (see Article 49), recovery of undue
amounts (see Article 50) or to any of the other measures described in Section 5.

Rejection of costs or reduction of the specific grant after the payment of the balance will lead to a revised final
grant amount (see Article 4 SGA).

Findings in checks, reviews, audits or investigations may lead to a request for amendment for the modification
of Annex to the Specific Agreement (see Article 61).

Checks, reviews, audits or investigations that find systemic or recurrent errors, irregularities, fraud or breach of
obligations may also lead to consequences in other EIT, EU or Euratom grants awarded under similar conditions
(‘extension of findings from the specific grant to other grants’).

Sub­Grant Agreement – RIS 2020 Program

Moreover, findings arising from an OLAF investigation may lead to criminal prosecution under national law.

28.5.2 Findings in other grants

The EIT or the Commission may extend findings from other grants to a specific grant (‘extension of findings
from other grants to a specific grant’), if:

(a) the KIC Partner concerned is found, in other EIT, EU or Euratom grants awarded under similar
conditions, to have committed systemic or recurrent errors, irregularities, fraud or breach of
obligations that have a material impact on the specific grant and

(b) those findings are formally notified to the KIC Partner concerned — together with the list of grants
affected by the findings — no later than two years after the payment of the balance of the specific
grant.

The extension of findings may lead to the rejection of costs (see Article 48) reduction of the specific grant (see
Article 49), recovery of undue amounts (see Article 50), suspension of the action implementation (see Article
55) or termination of the specific grant (see Article 56).

28.5.3 Procedure

The EIT or the Commission will formally notify the KIC Partner concerned the systemic or recurrent errors, and
its intention to extend these audit findings together with the list of grants affected.

28.5.3.1 If the findings concern eligibility of costs: the formal notification will include:

(a) an invitation to submit observations on the list of grants affected by the findings;

(b) the request to submit revised financial statements for all grants affected;

(c) the correction rate for extrapolation established by the EIT or the Commission on the basis of the
systemic or recurrent errors, to calculate the amounts to be rejected if the KIC Partner concerned:

(i) considers that the submission of revised financial statements is not possible or practicable or

(ii) does not submit revised financial statements.

The KIC Partner concerned has 90 days from receiving notification to submit observations, revised financial
statements or to propose a duly substantiated alternative correction method. This period may be extended by
the EIT or the Commission in justified cases.

The EIT or the Commission may then start a rejection procedure in accordance with Article 48, on the basis of:

- the revised financial statements, if approved;

- the proposed alternative correction method, if accepted

or

- the initially notified correction rate for extrapolation, if it does not receive any observations or revised
financial statements, does not accept the observations or the proposed alternative correction method
or does not approve the revised financial statements.

14
Sub­Grant Agreement – RIS 2020 Program

28.5.3.2 If the findings concern substantial errors, irregularities or fraud or serious breach of obligations: the
formal notification will include:

(a) an invitation to submit observations on the list of grants affected by the findings and

(b) the flat­rate the EIT or the Commission intends to apply according to the principle of
proportionality.

The KIC Partner concerned has 90 days from receiving notification to submit observations or to propose a duly
substantiated alternative flat­rate.

The EIT may then start a reduction procedure in accordance with Article 49, on the basis of:

- the proposed alternative flat­rate, if accepted

or

- the initially notified flat rate, if it does not receive any observations or does not accept the
observations or the proposed alternative flat­rate.

28.6 Consequences of non­compliance

If a KIC Partner breaches any of its obligations under this Article, any insufficiently substantiated costs of
specific actions will be ineligible (see Article 5 SGA) and will be rejected (see Article 48).

Such breaches may also lead to any of the other measures described in Section 5.

ARTICLE 29 —MONITORING AND EXTERNAL EVALUATION OF THE KIC

29.1 Right to monitor and evaluate the KIC

The EIT or the Commission may carry out interim and final evaluations of the output, results and impact of the
KIC.

Evaluations may be started during implementation of a specific action and up to five years after the payment of
the balance. The evaluation is considered to start on the date of the formal notification to the KIC LE or KIC
Partners.

The EIT or the Commission may make these evaluations directly (using its own staff) or indirectly (using
external bodies or persons it has authorised to do so).

The KIC LE and KIC Partners must provide any information requested to evaluate its impact, including
information in electronic format.

29.2 Consequences of non­compliance

If a KIC Partner breaches any of its obligations under this Article, the EIT may apply the measures described in
Section 5.

SUBSECTION 3 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO BACKGROUND AND RESULTS OF THE SPECIFIC
ACTIONS

15
Sub­Grant Agreement – RIS 2020 Program

SUBSUBSECTION 1 GENERAL

ARTICLE 29a — MANAGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

29a.1 Obligation to take measures to implement the Commission Recommendation on the management
of intellectual property in knowledge transfer activities

KIC Partners that are universities or other public research organisations must take measures to implement the
principles set out in Points 1 and 2 of the Code of Practice annexed to the Commission Recommendation on the
management of intellectual property in knowledge transfer activities.

This does not change the obligations set out in Subsubsections 2 and 3 of this Subsection.

The KIC Partners must ensure that researchers and third parties involved in the specific actions are aware of
them.

29a.2 Consequences of non­compliance

If a KIC Partner breaches its obligations under this Article, the EIT may apply any of the measures described in
Section 5.

ARTICLE 41 — CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

41.1 Obligation to avoid a conflict of interests

The KIC Partners must take all measures to prevent any situation where the impartial and objective
implementation of the specific actions is compromised for reasons involving economic interest, political or
national affinity, family or emotional ties or any other shared interest (‘conflict of interests’).

They must formally notify to the EIT without delay any situation constituting or likely to lead to a conflict of
interests and immediately take all the necessary steps to rectify this situation.

The EIT may verify that the measures taken are appropriate and may require additional measures to be taken
by a specified deadline.

41.2 Consequences of non­compliance

If a KIC Partner breaches any of its obligations under this Article, the grant may be reduced (see Article 49) and
the Specific Agreement or participation of the KIC Partner may be terminated (see Article 56).

Such breaches may also lead to any of the other measures described in Section 5.

ARTICLE 42 — CONFIDENTIALITY

42.1 General obligation to maintain confidentiality

During implementation of the specific action and for four years after the period set out in Article 3 SGA, the
parties must keep confidential any data, documents or other material (in any form) that is identified as
confidential at the time it is disclosed (‘confidential information’).

If a KIC Partner requests, the EIT may agree to keep such information confidential for an additional period
beyond the initial four years.

16
Sub­Grant Agreement – RIS 2020 Program

If information has been identified as confidential only orally, it will be considered to be confidential only if this
is confirmed in writing within 15 days of the oral disclosure.

Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, they may use confidential information only to implement the
Framework Partnership Agreement or Specific Agreement.

The KIC Partners may disclose confidential information to their personnel or third parties involved in the
specific action only if they:

(a) need to know to implement the Framework Partnership Agreement or Specific Agreements and

(b) are bound by an obligation of confidentiality.

This does not change the security obligations in Article 43, which still apply.

The EIT may disclose confidential information to its staff, other EU institutions and bodies. It may disclose
confidential information to third parties, if:

(a) this is necessary to implement the Framework Partnership Agreement or Specific Agreement or
safeguard the EIT’s financial interests and

(b) the recipients of the information are bound by an obligation of confidentiality.

The confidentiality obligations no longer apply if:

(a) the disclosing party agrees to release the other party;

(b) the information was already known by the recipient or is given to him without obligation of
confidentiality by a third party that was not bound by any obligation of confidentiality;

(c) the recipient proves that the information was developed without the use of confidential information;

(d) the information becomes generally and publicly available, without breaching any confidentiality
obligation, or

(e) the disclosure of the information is required by EU or national law.

42.2 Consequences of non­compliance

If a KIC Partner breaches any of its obligations under this Article, the specific grant may be reduced (see Article
49).

Such breaches may also lead to any of the other measures described in Section 5.

3. Activity overview

3.1 Activity purpose


(maximum 2.000 characters)

Please describe crisp, in the style of an elevator pitch, what the Activity intends to achieve and why.
The questions, you should handle are the followings:

• What is your activity about?


o RIS innovation (product, service, solution, policy, method, software etc.)
o RIS connected projects (to which already running BP2020 project would you
like to connect, what is your role and added value)
o RIS Hub activities (How do you handleawareness raising, local community
building, innovation, education and business creation support)
• What does it do/will it do?
• For whom (who are the target customers, users of this)?
• What will be the expected benefits for them?
• What is the development plan (short description of which outcomes and major
milestones the Activity is going to deliver in 2020)?
• What is to be expected after the Activity?
This text may be used as part of the Business Plan, or for presentations and other materials, and
should therefore be formulated in the style of an elevator pitch.

SrbUM Hub project aims to establish an Urban Mobility Hub in Serbia and to be a backbone
of local KIC. The Hub will focus on creating a framework that supports any similar UM
initiative on local and national levels through raising awareness on making urban spaces
more liveable. Following the EIT approach by connecting, educating and accelerating, this
will be achieved by organizing frequent meetings with authorities, public and stakeholder
surveys, TV and other media appearances. The innovation potential in Serbia will be
mapped through stakeholder surveys and joint workshops, and Serbian cities encouraged to
join Pan­EU City Club. Also, one of the aims of the Hub will be the promotion of enhancing
formal education concerning UM, as well as permanent assistance in fundraising and project
implementation.

For whom: The Hub will network knowledge triangle (education, research, and business)
with national and local authorities, city governments and municipalities.

24
Sub­Grant Agreement – RIS 2020 Program

Expected benefits: Citizens will benefit from healthier city environments. Indeed, citizens of
major cities in Serbia in particular in Belgrade are suffering from long­term air pollution
caused by UM. The Hub will fill the gap on a lack of systematic solutions for organized
actions that would improve the quality of life in cities enabling an easier transition to new
modalities of UM. National and local authorities would benefit from reaching inclusive,
green and prosperous cities and regions. An additional benefit from SrbUM Hub would be
an opportunity for job creation in the mobility sector.

Main outcomes:

Panel discussion on issues raised through mobility survey – moving towards solutions

Green Mobility event

Serbian UM workshop

Forum on new business opportunities

Next steps: The HUB will continuously assist stakeholders in the search for systematic,
integrated, user­centric solutions in UM of people, goods, and waste by finding EU and
national funding sources and assisting them in project implementation.

3.2 Expected outcomes and impact of activity on economy andsociety


(max 2.000 characters)

• Please state the broader impact achieved through the outputs of the activity, the extent
and kind of impact the activity has on its participants, the potential users of its outputs,
and the world at large. Impact shall be understood as any change, benefit or value
resulting from the activity. This includes intended as well as unintended effects, negative
as well as positive, and long-term as well as short-term.
• Describe recent societal and/or technological developments that make the solution you
are developing relevant and timely. Also name the relevant competitors and/or other
ongoing activities in the domain of the planned solution and explain your positioning with
respect to them.
• Explain where the idea originates from (past Activities) and justify that it is close to the
market introduction or almost ready for other large scale use.

25
Sub­Grant Agreement – RIS 2020 Program

• Describe how your Activity specifically relates to the EIT Urban Mobility Strategic
Objectives and City Challengesand how it contributes to the EIT Urban Mobility strategic
objectives.
• Explain its importance for the KIC and the urban mobility sector (e.g., a particular city
challenge), continuation or complement to another EIT or non-EIT project, etc.
• Justify how the activity will differ from existing projects (not just KAVA Activities,but also
other existing programmes outside the KIC).
• Explain what the activity intends to achieve, its objectives and scope (e.g., by using
SMART metrics - Simple, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound). Objectives
should be linked to EIT Urban Mobility Strategic Objectives and City Challenges (see Call
for Proposals).
• Explain the customer/user needs and justify how these needs have been investigated
and will be validated.
• Describe the targeted activity output (product/service/process) and its specific
characteristics (in terms of cost, performance, efficiency, safety, environmental impact,
lifetime, etc.).
• Describe how the proposed solution will contribute to solving the problem.
• If your project is focusing on the product, please explain what the level of maturity (TRL
level) of the output will be at the end of the activity duration.
• Explain how the activity will complement existing initiatives, whether and in what form
educational aspects will be included and how it will contribute to the achievement of the
KIC targets. Specify the geographical coverage and relevance (in which cities will the
solution be tested/ implemented, which other European / Non-European cities could
benefit from it).
• For RIS projects,please indicate theimpact of your Activity on the RIS countries.

Long­term impacts of the Activity will be raised awareness, the improvement of quality of
life by introduction of efficient and safe solutions in UM of people, goods, and waste and
reduction of air and noise pollution caused by motor vehicles. These impacts will be mostly
felt in the major Serbian cities (affecting 2 out of 7 million people of total population), with
the possibility to spread to neighbouring countries and wider. Additional benefit is
economic, as the introduction of efficient and safe modes of transport will reduce
expenditures on health issues and increase investments in innovations. Short­term impacts
of the SrbUM Hub would be an opportunity for job creation in the mobility sector and a
legislative framework that supports efficient and safe modes of UM.

With the intention to become a RIS Hub, the SrbUM Hub will achieve all EIT UM Strategic
Objectives in long term. Reaching the objectives will be performed by involvement of
policymakers, educational and research institutions and business partners in creating a
supportive ecosystem that encourages KTI­driven innovative solutions and citizen
engagement in UM that could be transferred to European and global levels.

Through SrbUM Hub new stakeholders and job opportunities will appear, as the Hub will

26
Sub­Grant Agreement – RIS 2020 Program

create local EIT KIC. NAAEV membership in AVERE (The European Association for
Electromobility) and in Electrification Alliance Europe provides access to projects under the
various EU pre­accession and structural funds programs.

The Hub will strengthen EIT UM network and form a local KIC by mapping and interlinking
local stakeholders by KTI principles, provide them funding opportunities in UM, and strive to
achieve sustainable ecosystem for innovations in UM. It will also encourage Serbian cities to
join City Club.

There are only few Initiatives for improved UM in Serbia (SKGO and City of Belgrade SUMP)
to which the Hub is well aligned. The Hub could complement these initiatives by offering EIT
UM sustainable solutions that integrate policymakers, educational and research institutions
and businesses. It will promote enhancing formal education concerning UM. NAAEV has
offices in four Serbian major cities. The City of Čačak agreed to be a testbed if the
opportunity occurs.

The SrbUM Hub will cooperate with other RIS countries and be an example of good practice.

Support of local education activities

With our current and future partners from academia we will work on creating new
educational programs. Success criterion –one new course created by year 2020.

Local community building, KTI, strengthening the local innovation ecosystem

Local community building will start with online campaign (WP2 task 1), and followed by
online survey (WP2 task 2), whose analysis will be presented at panel discussion (WP2 task
3) engaging experts and policy makers. We have already approached Serbian Prime Minister
with the initiative for creation of Electromobility strategy. Previously Serbian government
adopted our “Guidelines for the development of Electromobility in the Republic of Serbia for
the period from 2019 to 2025”.

The lead organization NAAEV, an established UM promoter and R&D hub, is already formed
by KTI principles and will steer the Hub in that direction. NAAEV possesses a well­
established network of partners whose professional and production potentials are included
through the implementation of joint project activities. Through creation of a database of hi­
tech companies (WP3 task 1) with a potential to contribute to green mobility in Serbia we
will strive to grow our network even further.

3.5 Outlook beyond project funding: what will happen after the end of
Activity
(max 1.000 characters)

Please describe briefly what will happen with the results outputs of the activity after its end, how they
will be used, and any intended follow­up activities (with or without EIT Urban Mobility involvement).

We will engage all of the stakeholders and build a firm foundation for a future development
in the field of UM in Serbia. After the Activity, the Hub will continue its work by following
the EIT UM roadmap and be sustainable as it will adopt the EIT financing scheme (see EIT
UM Strategic Agenda).

The Hub will continue to:

• Support local KIC to participate in EIT UM calls for projects, strengthening


cooperation across EIT UM network.
• Seek other funding opportunities through national funding agencies (like
Innovation Fund or Science Fund) or through the lead entity’s memberships in
AVERE and Electrification Alliance Europe.
• Expand the network of stakeholders, raise awareness and help policymakers to
improve legislation, search for new UM innovative solutions, and encourage
citizen engagement.
• Actively participate in improving formal education in UM by constantly surveying
the needs of the business sector for educated human resources.
• Provide participation of Serbian major cities in City Club.
31
Sub­Grant Agreement – RIS 2020 Program

The vision of the SrbUM Hub is to be not just a local, rather a regional promoter of green
UM. Thus, it will expand its activities and network to neighbouring countries.

3.6 Role of partners and team members

Provide a list of partners involved, clear description of the expertise and distinct role of each partner
and describe the complementarity between partners. Justify the selection of the lead partner.
Describe how the various partners provide access to the relevant resources and cover the relevant
steps to produce and deliver the solution to the targeted customers/users. In particular, demonstrate
strong involvement of cities and relevant industrial partner(s) as required to ensure deployment and
commercialisation of the developed solution on a broad geographical scope.

If the partner plans to sub­grant or sub­contract part of the work to an organisation outside of EIT
Urban Mobility, this should be mentioned here. In case of sub­contracting, include some indication of
the selection criteria, for sub­granting the name of the sub­grantee, if known already. Note that sub­
grants are only possible when the main value the Activity generates will be for the benefit of the sub­
grantee. Otherwise, sub­contracting is the model to be used.

3.10 KTI Integration


(Max. 1.000 characters)

Please describe how your Activity will integrate innovation, education and business creation aspects,
e.g. by creating nuggets in innovation activities, aligning education programmes with business
creation activities, etc.

Two major courses of action of the SrbUM Hub are raising awareness (public, authorities,
academia, research and business) and formation of groups by KTI principles and finding
funding opportunities for them. The latter course of action includes mapping the innovation
landscape (DEL05), panel discussion on issues raised through mobility survey (OUT01), info
sharing forum (OUT04) and SrbUM workshop (OUT03). After mapping stakeholders (DEL05),
the Hub will present to them EIT UM and other funding opportunities (OUT03 and OUT04).
With the help of the Hub, stakeholders interested in project applications will be linked in
compatible teams consisting of education, research and business partners (OUT03 and
OUT04). Being a link between academia and business, the Hub will actively participate in
improving formal education in UM by encouraging of alignment of education programmes
with business creation activities.

The lead entity NAAEV, established R&D hub and promoter of electric and autonomous
vehicles usage and construction of supporting e­infrastructure, is led and formed by KTI
principles, having a network of partners from academia, research and business.
