Potential applicants and targeted projects

add to pdf

Important partner countries on board: In many calls it has proven unproductive to launch calls without the key players on board. Experience has shown that partnering of applicants often works via these key players/countries, and it may therefore be essential to include them.

Critical mass of applicants available: It is important to anticipate the potential number of applicants interested in a call in order to design the workflow, time frame and also budget accordingly.

Type of projects: Before launching a call the network has to agree on the type of projects to be supported, including duration, TRLs, etc. Clarification of eligibility and transparency of procedures is essential to avoid misunderstandings on the part of the applicants.

Advice for Co-funded European Partnerships: The minimum criteria for the selected transnational projects of co-funded calls are:

for multi-beneficiary projects (including multi-participant projects): the projects supported must be transnational, involving at least two independent legal entities from two different EU Member States or Horizon Europe associated countries as recipients of the financial support and may also include legal entities established in a non-associated third countries not receiving financial support
for mono-beneficiary projects (multi-participant projects): the projects supported must be transnational, involving one legal entity established in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe associated country as recipient of the financial support and one legal entity established in a non-associated third country not receiving financial support
