Build the argument before writing

Concept Compass works with you on your objectives and arguments before drafting the text. You then work through the 11 sections of a KA220 application in order; KA210 Small-scale Partnerships get their own, shorter process.

  2. 02Applicant

The stack of eleven layers seen from the front, with engraved lines; the light seams glow blue

Changes carry through the application

Change an objective, and the work packages, indicators and summary are updated too. Chat in your language; the application is written in English.

A check frame runs down the stack of layers; six marks in the plinth ring glow teal

Six checkpoints review your application

Code checks structural rules, character limits and budget totals.

Every application also passes through six checkpoints:

  1. 01EvidenceThe needs analysis needs reliable evidence.
  2. 02MeasurabilityObjectives need clear indicators.
  3. 03ImpactImpact is worth 25 points.
  4. 04Structure and complianceFormal requirements must be met.
  5. 05Reality CheckThe timeline and resources must fit the project.
  6. 06EvaluationThe evaluation identifies gaps before submission.

Scored against the four award criteria

With “Assess an application”, you upload a completed KA220 application as a PDF, even if it was written elsewhere. The Evaluator scores it against the four award criteria in the Programme Guide and identifies strengths and areas for improvement.
